Overview

Mapper Base is a foundational library mod designed by Mapper to provide shared resources, items, and mechanics for a suite of mods, most notably EmbellishCraft and Road Stuff. While its primary purpose is to act as a dependency, it introduces several standalone features that impact survival gameplay, specifically a multi-stage steel production system and new world-generation materials like Bitumen.

In modern versions (1.20.1 and 1.21.1), the mod focuses heavily on balancing industrial progression. It offers a vanilla-friendly way to obtain Steel, which is more durable than Iron but less expensive than Diamond, while also providing the raw materials necessary for advanced road construction and decorative building blocks.
