Steel Domination
by Korstih
Steel Domination adds a steel ore and a steel material to Minecraft 1.20.1, along with new ores, tools, armor and custom advancements for the Fabric loader.
What it does
Steel ore generates in the world, and smelting it yields a steel ingot that is stronger than iron. The mod also adds reforged ores, a set of steel armor, new tools and utility blocks, and new advancements that track progress through the added content. Players who reach the steel tier gain gear that outperforms what iron allows, which changes how the mid-game progresses.
Fabric API is required, and the mod is installed on Fabric only. Both the server and every player need Steel Domination, because the content is defined on both sides. Files target 1.20.1 alone, and the latest build, 0.2, is marked alpha, so some balance and behavior may still change before a stable release. The author notes that content is upcoming before the full release.
