Crafting and Using Cincinnasite Tools and the Anvil
Getting Cincinnasite
Cincinnasite is the mod's core metal. Gather it, then bring it to a crafting table to shape tools. The Cincinnasite Axe is one confirmed tool, so start there for chopping the mod's wood types such as Anchor Tree Log and the various plank blocks.
The Cincinnasite Anvil
Craft a Cincinnasite Anvil and place it. The anvil supports smithing_transform recipes, which is how you upgrade or convert gear. Smithing transform recipes are present in the mod, so combine a base item with the required addition on the anvil to produce the transformed result.
Carved Cincinnasite
Carved Cincinnasite is a decorative variant. Craft it from Cincinnasite and use it as a building accent around your anvil station or furnace area.
Workflow
Set up a station with a crafting table, a Cincinnasite Anvil, and a Basalt Furnace or Blackstone Furnace in one spot. Smelt raw materials, craft Cincinnasite tools at the table, then run smithing_transform recipes on the anvil. Keep spare Cincinnasite in a nearby chest so you can repair or replace tools without leaving the area. This single-station layout covers the full tool progression the mod supports.
