DESCRIPTION

Emberforge

Build your gear from parts – every material matters.

Emberforge is an original mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge) in the spirit of the classic tool-building mods. You melt metals in a multiblock smeltery, cast or craft individual parts, and assemble them into tools, weapons, armor, bows and magic staffs. Each part's material brings its own stats and its own trait, so two pickaxes are rarely the same.

Smeltery & casting

Build a multiblock smeltery from seared bricks – the bigger you build it, the more it holds
Melt ores and metals, fuel it with lava, pour through faucets into casting tables and basins
Mix alloys in the dedicated alloy mixer, fed through channels

Ore crops

Grow your own ores: cast ore seeds on the casting table – wheat seeds as the cast, a full block of molten ore poured on top
13 ore seeds: iron, copper, gold, silver, coal, redstone, lapis, quartz, diamond, emerald, netherite scrap, ember steel and blaze steel
They only grow on Seared Farmland – rarer ores grow slower, bone meal won't help
A ripe crop gives 2 shards and its seed back – 9 shards make an ingot or gem, so a seed is a long-term investment

Tools, weapons and armor from parts

25 tool and weapon types: pickaxe, hammer, excavator, lumber axe, scythe, longsword, cleaver, warhammer, mace, spear, lance, poleaxe, flail, kusarigama, battle staff, trident, tomahawk and more
Bows, longbows and crossbows with their own strings, fletching and craftable arrows
Armor, shields and bucklers built from plates, cores and trims, with set bonuses
About 30 materials from wood and flint up to netherite and the mod's own metals – each with stats and a unique trait
Stencil table, part builder, part assembler, pattern cabinet and material crate form one connected workbench chain
Tools never vanish: a broken tool can be repaired
Gear levels up through use – every level gives an extra modifier slot (magic staff: spell slot), and you can engrave your gear with your own text

Modifiers

Upgrade finished gear with modifiers – more speed, more damage, less durability loss and many special effects.

Magic

Build a magic staff and slot in spell crystals
Over 35 spells: attack, movement, control, support, summoning, utility – including your own pocket dimension
Mana crystals in several tiers

World, mobs and bosses

New ores, ruins and shrines to find
New monsters and elite enemies
Guardians and two big boss fights: the Primal Smith in his own arena and the Deep Warden
Relics and accessories with passive effects, boss artifacts and trophies

In-game handbook

The whole mod is explained in an in-game handbook (given on first login, requires Patchouli). With JEI installed you also get recipe pages for melting, casting, alloys and part building.

Optional compatibility

None of these are required – Emberforge hooks in automatically when they're installed.

JEI – recipe pages for melting, casting, alloys and part building
Jade – look at the smeltery, alloy mixer, tanks, casting tables/basins, faucets and channels to see what's inside (hold Shift for every metal)
Create – andesite alloy and crushed ores melt in the smeltery, brass as a material, pipes and pumps work on the smeltery drain, spouts pour into casting tables and basins, harvesters farm ore crops
Apotheosis – gem sockets on Emberforge tools, weapons, bows, crossbows, shields and armor
Other mods' ores and metals melt in the smeltery (same name = same molten metal)
Enchantments from other mods work on Emberforge gear when vanilla enchantments are enabled in the config
