Bronze N’ Steel

About

A mod intended to spice up Minecraft’s progression a little bit especially for versions below 1.21.9 where copper gear isn’t a thing.

Bronze is meant to be an alternative to iron. The process of obtaining it is a little lengthier than iron, but it’s more durable in return.

Steel meanwhile is meant to be the workhorse tier; 3x as durable as iron and can mine the same things as diamond. I wanted a tier that makes players not feel the need to rush for diamonds early.
