Simply Steel Continued
by SkpC9
Simply Steel Continued, a Forge mod by SkpC9, adds a steel tier of tools, weapons, armor and blocks that sits between iron and the later materials.
What it does
Steel is made by combining iron ingots with coal or charcoal to form crude iron, then smelting the crude iron in a blast furnace into steel ingots. The mod then adds tools, weapons, armor and a set of other miscellaneous blocks and items built from that material. Steel tools are listed as more efficient than iron, with a higher durability of 250 and a mining speed of 6.5 against iron's 6.0. Steel armor gives +1 armor toughness and more durability than iron, and enchantability is slightly higher at 14.
The mod also includes several firestarter variants, and the flint and steel recipe now uses steel instead of iron. It runs on Forge only, in the Client and server environment, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.19.2 – 1.20.2 across four release versions, and the author gave permission to build on the original Simply Steel work. The project is under the MIT License, and source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.
