akkamaddi's Simple Tungsten

This is a port to 1.14.4 and later, of the Sterling and Black module of akkamaddi's Additions from 1.7.10. See that article for original permissions and Minecraft Forum thread links. The mod (an add-on for Simple Ores) was originally written by akkamaddi, and then abandoned; I took up maintenance of the mod after that.

Simple Tungsten for Minecraft 1.14.4 to 1.16.1 requires SimpleOres and Fusion.

Simple Tungsten for Minecraft 1.16.3 and later requires SimpleCoreLib and Fusion, and optionally SimpleOres (or some other mod that provides adamantium ingots).

Tungsten is a very dense metal that is somewhat comparable to Adamantium. Due to its hardness, it is very difficult to work into passable tools. While its durability is higher than Adamantium, the tools are less functional than Iron. Its value is in the alloys. The "ceramic" alloys have only a smal boost in durability, but have a much higher mining speed and enchantability, and the armors have special powers. The "metallic" alloys have a very high boost to durability, while still having good stats.

Tungsten Ore requires a pickaxe with a "level 2" rating (iron, bronze) or higher to mine. It only appears very deep in the ground, around the same level as Diamond.

Tungsten Carbide is a Tungsten ceramic. The durability is a little higher than Tungsten, but it can be more easily worked into a very sharp edge. Tungsten is fused with baked bricks using bone meal, coal / charcoal, or gunpowder (S/M/L). Tungsten Carbide will distribute impact and pressure. A full suit of Tungsten Carbide will protect the wearer from falling blocks and anvils, and prevents damage from being buried.

Valfram is a powerful ceramic made with a Netherrack base. Tungsten is fused with a baked Netherrack brick using gunpowder, glowstone, or a lava bucket. (S/M/L). Valfram is naturally heat resistant. When a full suit of Valfram armor is worn, damage from fire and lava is negated.

Tungsten Steel is an alloy made with Tungsten and Iron, using Tin as a catalyst (L only). It is comparable to diamond, though with a mining level of two.

Prasinos, the green alloy, is Tungsten fused with Adamantium, using glowstone dust, magma cream, or blaze powder (S/M/L). It has a a very high durability, and the tools have a high harvest level.
