Steel Ash
by Abnies
Steel Ash is a NeoForge adventure mod that adds an ash-based steel ingot, a cobalt ore, new dungeons and a pair of ash-themed dimensions.
What it does
A main mechanic of the mod is the creation of the Ash-Steel ingot, which is made by melting down iron ingots over fire. Cobalt is added as a new ore, and tools and armor can be crafted from it in place of gold. Several new dungeons join the world, including a deserted library and a destroyed portal built around a cobalt block.
Exploration is the other focus. Players reach a new dimension called Laser World, where two or three new biomes are found, among them laser hills and laser plains. The overworld gains Laser Hills and ash landscapes. Many achievements are attached to these places and to the new items. Steel Ash runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge 1.20.4 – 1.20.6 and is released under the Apache License 2.0, but the project is not open source.
