Items

Steel Ingot

Steel Ingot

Steel ingots are the base material for all steel tools and armor. Obtain by blasting iron ingots in a blast furnace for a long time.

Improved Flint and Steel

Craft a Flint and Steel using flint and a steel ingot.
This tool works like the vanilla flint and steel, but has 4x the durability (256 uses).

Steel Arrow & Arrow Head

Optional, only if ArrowCrafting is installed.

Blocks

Steel Block

A decorative and building block crafted from nine steel ingots.

Heavy Counting Pressure Plate (NEW Behaviour in 1.3.0)

This pressure plate is a bit different from the vanilla pressure plate, as it counts each item on it, not each entity. This means items in stacks are correctly counted.

Outputs one redstone signal for each 16 items/entity on the pressure plate.

Get the light Counting Pressure Plate by installing my CopperCrafting mod.

Tools

Steel tools can mine the same things and have the same mining speed as iron tools.

Steel tools are 4 times as durable as iron tools, which is about 2/3 of diamond tools.

Steel tools sit between iron and diamond tools in terms of enchantability.

Steel armor offers the same protection as iron armor.
