steel
by norweski
Steel is a NeoForge equipment mod for 1.21.8 that adds steel items, crafted from hardened iron in a blast furnace.
What it does
Steel adds a progression chain built around hardened iron. Hardened iron is crafted from four iron ingots with an iron hammer, and smelting it in a blast furnace yields steel. Steel then feeds the industrial steel material, which is used only to craft industrial steel blocks.
The mod is published for NeoForge on 1.21.8 alone, and it runs on client and server, so servers and every player need it. Its license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
