Description
This mod adds Bronze gear as a resource-efficient side-grade to iron, giving players a durable alternative that fits cleanly into vanilla progression.
Bronze isn’t meant to replace iron. Instead, it’s built for players who prefer endurance over raw power and don’t want to burn through materials during the early game. Bronze gear lasts a long time, but trades damage, efficiency, and protection to stay balanced.
The mod adds a full set of bronze equipment, including:
Weapons: Mace, Battleaxe, Sword, Dagger, Shield, and Shortbow
Tools: Pickaxe and Hatchet
Armor: Chestplate, Leggings, Gauntlets, and Helmet
In terms of balance:
Tools have thorium-like durability with copper-level efficiency
Weapons have thorium-like durability with copper-level damage
Armor has thorium-like durability with copper-level defense
Some existing assets are reused alongside new ones to keep everything consistent with the base game.
If you like long mining trips, extended adventures, or just want gear that doesn’t break constantly, bronze gives you a solid, reliable option without messing with the game’s progression.
This is the first mod I've developed for any game ever, I have zero experience with modding, 3d modeling, pixel art creation and all of the above so please comment and let me know what you think! Thanks for downloading!
