Living Forge

Living Forge

Real blacksmithing for survival: heat your ingots, hammer them on the beat and quench the new tool.

• Living Forge: add coal (or charcoal, coal block, blaze rod) and up to 3 iron, gold or copper ingots. Watch them glow red, orange, yellow and finally white-hot.
• Smith’s Tongs: take the glowing ingots out (bare hands burn!). They cool down in the tongs, so hurry.
• Smith’s Anvil: pick a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel or hoe and strike with the Forge Hammer when the marker above the hotbar is in the middle. 6 strikes. Hotter metal gives you more time.
• Four qualities: Common, Good (Unbreaking I), Excellent (Unbreaking II + Sharpness/Efficiency I) and Masterpiece (Unbreaking III + II). Every tool is engraved with the smith’s name.
• Quench Tub: fill it with a water bucket and quench the fresh tool for +1 Sharpness or Efficiency.
• 7 achievements and an in-game Smith’s Guide (sneak + use the hammer).
• English, Portuguese and Spanish.
