How to Upgrade Tools and Armor with Steel

Steel is an iron alloy known for superior durability and high strength. Rather than replacing your existing equipment from scratch, Create Alloyed allows you to upgrade several vanilla gear pieces into reinforced Steel items.

Eligible Equipment for Upgrades

You can use Steel to enhance multiple tiers of everyday equipment:

  • Standard Tools: Upgrade standard iron tools into durable Steel tools.
  • Utility Equipment: Upgrade utility items like the Shears and the Fishing Rod to extend their overall lifespan.
  • Armor: Upgrade basic Chain Armor into heavy-duty Steel armor pieces for higher protection.

Upgrading Your Gear

1. Smelt Steel by processing 3 parts Iron and 1 part Coal or Charcoal inside an Alloy Forge workstation block.

2. Take your refined Steel and your existing iron tools, Shears, Fishing Rod, or Chain Armor pieces to your crafting station.

3. Combine the base gear with your Steel to forge the upgraded versions.

4. Equip your new Steel items to take advantage of their increased strength and extended durability during combat and exploration.
