Progressive Smithing

Progressive Smithing is a vanilla‑plus progression mod that expands the Smithing Table into a true upgrade path for tools, weapons, and armor. Instead of jumping straight from iron to diamond, players now advance through a tiered material ladder that feels natural, rewarding, and fully integrated into Minecraft’s world generation.

What the Mod Adds

• A full upgrade progression: leather -> copper -> gold -> chainmail -> iron -> diamond
• Custom smithing templates for every upgrade step
• Naturally generated loot placement for templates (dungeons, ruins, structures, etc.)
• New smithing recipes for all armor pieces, tools, and weapons
• Balanced, vanilla‑style progression that feels like it could be part of the base game
• Cross‑loader support via Architectury (Fabric + NeoForge)

Why Use Progressive Smithing

Players who enjoy vanilla‑friendly progression will appreciate how this mod:

• Makes early‑ and mid‑game gear meaningful again
• Encourages exploration to find upgrade templates
• Gives the Smithing Table a real purpose before Netherite
• Adds depth without adding grind or complexity

It’s a lightweight, intuitive enhancement that fits seamlessly into survival gameplay.
