Steel Set
by Morina
Steel Set brings a steel tier into the middle of the game, with its own tools, armor, fuel-based smelting path and decorative blocks.
What it does
Iron ingots are blasted in a Blast Furnace with an available fuel to produce Carbonized Iron. Carbonized Iron is then used to craft Raw Steel, which is blasted again to yield a Steel Ingot. Steel is the material the rest of the set is built from, so players reach it between iron and netherite progression.
Steel Set is a NeoForge mod for 26.2, published by Morina under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. It runs on the client and the server together, meaning the server and every player need it. Its only listed game version is 26.2, and the latest file is 0.1.0, released on 2026-08-29 on the beta channel.
Key features
Steel smelting chain
Iron ingots become Carbonized Iron in a Blast Furnace, and Carbonized Iron becomes Raw Steel before the final blasting step.

The armor has more durability than iron and special properties such as knockback resistance and toughness like netherite.
