⚙️ ALLUMINATION (ss:)

Allumination is a grounded, progression-focused expansion for Minecraft Education Edition that introduces a realistic metal tier, alloying mechanics, and material-based combat—without magic, glow effects, or overpowered shortcuts.

What if Minecraft had a more believable metal progression system?
