Choose the Right Fantasy Metal for Your Playstyle
Fantasy Metals and Their Strengths
Base Metals Mod includes powerful fantasy metals found in challenging dimensions. Each excels in different situations.
Metal Comparison
Cold-Iron (Nether): Ideal for Nether exploration. Offers fire immunity and bonus damage against Nether mobs and fire-resistant creatures.
Adamantine (Nether): Rare and diamond-tier strong. Armor grants damage resistance, and tools are devastating against high-health mobs like bosses.
Mithril (Alloy): Crafted rather than mined. Steel-strength with a specialty: weapons deal extra damage to undead mobs, making it perfect for fighting skeletons, zombies, and the Wither.
Aquarium (Alloy): Unique utility metal. Wear a full armor set to breathe underwater indefinitely. Tools deal bonus damage to water mobs like drowned and guardians.
Star-Steel (The End): End-dimension metal with mobility perks. Armor lets you jump higher and fall slower for easier traversal. Tools slowly self-repair over time, reducing repair costs.
Choosing Your Metal
Consider your current challenge: Nether exploration? Use Cold-Iron. Underwater base? Craft Aquarium armor. Need low-maintenance tools? Star-Steel repairs itself.
