Full item list

Armor, Tools & Weapons

Copper: Cheap and disposable early-game armor and tools. At least it's better than Leather...
Bronze: One of the new alloys added by the mod. Bronze tools are not as fast but more durable than Iron tools.
Brass: Tools and armor that are more effective than their Iron counterpart and have higher enchantability.
Rose Quartz: An armor set with the same defense points as Diamond armor, but with a very low durability.
Sturdy Sheet: Very high durability armor, with decent defensive capabilities (slightly under Diamond armor).
Steel: One of the new materials added by the mod. Used to create powerful gear, almost on par with Netherite.

All new armors from the mod are trimmable.

Hammer & Paxel

The Paxel is one of the 2 new tool types added by the mod. It combines the mining properties of a Pickaxe, Axe and Shovel.

Create: Ironworks also adds the Hammer. It has the same properties as a Pickaxe, but mines in a 3*3 area and consumes durability faster.

Both of these tools have a lower mining speed compared to their counterpart of the same materials, to compensate for the functionality gains. Versions for vanilla materials are all also included.

Alloy Making

New recipes have been added for Brass: you can now craft the alloy directly from crushed materials, and even nuggets! (with adapted drop rates).

Bronze follows the same principle and can be crafted using the newly added Tin Ore, and a bit of Copper. Being a lower-tier alloy, this craft requires no heating.

Steel is the third and highest tier alloy added by the mod. It requires Iron and Coal Dust to craft (obtained by crushing Coal).

Recipes and other features

Alloys are useful for many things besides crafting tools and armor. Notably, they are substitutes to other materials in certain recipes.

Tin and Bronze recipes

Tin can replace Iron in several vanilla recipes. This allows to save some Iron for other crafts, as Create can be very Iron-intensive (especially in early game).

Bronze can be used to craft Bells, very much like in real life.

Coal Dust other uses

Coal Dust can be used along side Blaze Powder to craft Gunpowder.

Precision Mechanism

Steel can replace Iron in the Precision Mechanism recipe, increasing success rate to 100% (vs. 80% with Iron Nuggets).

Upgrading to Netherite

All Steel tools and armor pieces can be upgraded to Netherite, the same way you would with Diamond gear. This also includes the new Hammers and Paxels.

Netherite Upgrade Template

You can use Steel instead of Diamond for duplicating templates. You'll still have to find the first one though...
