About this Mod

Adds steel and a steel smeltery. Thats it, it just adds those two things, since this is a small QoL mod of sorts (for you who dont know, QoL stands for Quality of Life).

Mod contents:

Steel Ingot - made with Steel Smeltery (not consumed), 1 Iron Ingot and 1 Coal or Charcoal
Steel Smeltery - made with a Furnace, 4 Iron Ingots (surrounding the Furnace) and 4 Bricks (the items, not blocks!).
"ingotSteel" OreDictionary entry - yeah, thats what makes this mod even useful in the first place. Lets mods call the "ingotSteel" OreDict and get the Steel Ingots in that OreDict entry, thus that includes this mod's Steel Ingot.

And... thats it! Well, I hope this mod is useful for any of you.
