Actually Useful Smithing Table

Ever find it weird that the smithing table essentially has one use (at least before armor trims are implemented in 1.20)? Why not make it actually useful? Make tools upgradeable via the smithing table and take one pick from wood to netherite!

About this Mod

This mod allows you to upgrade tools and armor in a smithing table by supplying the appropriate blocks. Adding in a cobblestone block with a wooden pickaxe will get you a cobblestone pickaxe, etc. You can also apply obsidian to tools to make them stronger, like a vanilla themed "tinkers construct" style upgrade system.
