Upgrading Stone Tools to Iron

How to Upgrade Stone Tools

This mod adds a new upgrade path using the smithing table. Place a stone tool in the smithing table along with an iron ingot to upgrade it into an iron tool. This works similarly to the vanilla netherite upgrade system.

The upgrade consumes one iron ingot per tool, making iron tools significantly cheaper to obtain compared to crafting them traditionally. All stone tool types can be upgraded this way, including pickaxes, axes, shovels, and swords.

This feature mirrors the existing diamond-to-netherite upgrade mechanic, extending the smithing table's upgrade functionality to lower-tier tools.
