About this Mod
Cheap steel
Cheap Steel is a lightweight compatibility mod that introduces a balanced and straightforward crafting recipe for steel ingots. It does not add any standalone content (except the steel ingot, block, nuggets and raw steel), but instead serves as a dependency or bridge for other mods that utilize steel in their crafting systems. Designed for maximum compatibility, this mod integrates seamlessly with most Forge mods that reference steel as a crafting material.
Features;
- Steel ingot, block, nugget and raw steel.
- Crafting recipies back and forth.
- Compatibility with most mods (it depends on the mods).
