Additions
by gobies
Additions brings tin, bronze, steel and rubies into Forge play on 1.20.1, with tools, armor and tweaks to vanilla systems.
What it does
Tin can be mined underground in the overworld, and bronze and steel can be crafted from the new materials. Rubies turn up in the Nether. Most of the content is tools, armor and nuggets, while gems behave like nugget-style resources that combine into their full form. Early-game tools can be crafted from flint, and the mod works alongside sapphire gems from other mods.
The mod also changes several vanilla behaviors: a bundle can be crafted, attacks reach entities through grass without removing it, items are no longer destroyed by lightning, and the blast furnace can require steel instead of iron. Mobs can spawn with common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary and shiny variants, where higher variants have more health and drop more experience. Config options adjust these tweaks.
Additions runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 1.1.0 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Source code and an issue tracker are publicly linked.
