Living Forge

Heat ingots in a glowing forge, take them with tongs, hammer tools on the beat at the Smith's Anvil and quench them in water. Four qualities, engraved names and achievements. Java + Bedrock.

Living Forge

Real blacksmithing for survival: heat your ingots, hammer them on the beat and quench the new tool.

  • Living Forge: add coal (or charcoal, coal block, blaze rod) and up to 3 iron, gold or copper ingots. Watch them glow red, orange, yellow and finally white-hot.
  • Smith's Tongs: take the glowing ingots out (bare hands burn!). They cool down in the tongs, so hurry.
  • Smith's Anvil: pick a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel or hoe and strike with the Forge Hammer when the marker above the hotbar is in the middle. 6 strikes. Hotter metal gives you more time.
  • Four qualities: Common, Good (Unbreaking I), Excellent (Unbreaking II + Sharpness/Efficiency I) and Masterpiece (Unbreaking III + II). Every tool is engraved with the smith's name.
  • Quench Tub: fill it with a water bucket and quench the fresh tool for +1 Sharpness or Efficiency.
  • 7 achievements and an in-game Smith's Guide (sneak + use the hammer).
  • English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Recipes

  • Living Forge: bricks around, a blast furnace in the middle, smooth stone at the bottom.
  • Smith's Anvil: iron ingot on top, anvil between 2 iron ingots, smooth stone at the bottom.
  • Quench Tub: planks in a U with a bucket in the middle.
  • Smith's Tongs: iron ingot on top, 2 iron ingots in a V, 2 sticks at the bottom.
  • Forge Hammer: 6 iron ingots on top and a stick in the middle at the bottom.

Install
