STAL Alloys
by Sephta
STAL Alloys adds five metal ores and an alloy smelter that combines two metals into a new alloy, with tools, armor and decorative blocks made from the results.
What it does
The ores are spread through the overworld and the nether in different layers, and each new metal has a distinct purpose in the mod. Some alloys produce tools, others weapons or armor, so the mining and crafting path gives players a reason to combine metals rather than use one alone. Recipes for the alloy smelter and the crafted items are listed in the mod's own documentation.
Armor follows the same pattern as Netherite, with one difference: Stainless Steel armor is handled like Diamond and Netherite gear, but it is made with a different smithing template. From Minecraft 1.19 the mod adds smithing recipes, and from 1.20 it adds trim support for Stainless Steel and Brass armor.
STAL Alloys requires Fabric API. It runs on Fabric only, with 12 release versions, and the latest file is 1.2.3 for 1.21.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with a source code repository and an issue tracker.

How it compares

Periodity is also open source and client and server, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11. Iron & Steel is Fabric only, for 1.20 – 1.20.4, and its license is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
