Bronze aims to be the most vanilla-friendly bronze mod available for modern Minecraft.
Bronze is made from copper and tin. Tools and Armour crafted with it are better than iron but worse than diamond.
You will need 1 Raw Tin and 3 Raw Copper for every Bronze Ingot you
want to make.
Craft 3 Raw Copper with 1 Raw Tin in a crafting window to
obtain Bronze Blend - then smelt this item in a furnace to obtain a Bronze
Ingot.
With your new bronze ingot, a new material tier opens up to you. Read on to find out about all the wonderful things you can make with bronze.
Most pieces have the same armor value as iron, but sport 2 distinct benefits over iron:
+1 Armor Toughness
.Crafting bronze armor is the same as crafting iron armor, but using Bronze Ingots instead of Iron Ingots.
Bronze armour fully supports Minecraft’s armour trimming system. Mix and match colors for the perfect set of armor.
Since version 1.0.11+1.21, it’s also possible to customize your armour using tin and bronze ingots as trimming materials.
You are able to trim any modded armour as long as it supports vanilla’s trimming system. Check out the gallery for some modded armour with tin and bronze trims.
The bronze mod ships with 2 weapons by default, the Bronze Sword and Bronze
Axe.
These weapons have 100 more durability than their vanilla counterparts, with the
sword doing 0.5 more damage too.
This means that the bronze sword is halfway between iron and
diamond in terms of damage, though the diamond sword has far greater durability.
The bronze axe
on the other hand is on par with iron and diamond axes in terms of damage, but has slightly better
durability than iron, while having far less than diamond.
Basic Weapons adds 5 other unique weapon archetypes, and has explicit compatibility with the Bronze mod. Just install both mods, and the new bronze weapon types will be able to be crafted!
As you may expect, this mod adds bronze variants of all vanilla tools. These tools have stats similar to iron, but with some distinct benefits:
Have you made a full set of bronze weapons, tools & armour? Then it’s time to put your surplus materials to use and craft some of the decorative blocks included in the Bronze mod!
Chiseled tin, cut tin, stairs, slabs, connected tin framed glass and more building blocks await! These materials would fit nicely into a temple or modern house build, and are also a great way to show off your wealth! ⛏️
The bronze mod has three main goals it aims to achieve:
This mod already includes a few non-combat blocks and items, such as the Bronze Door
,
Bronze Trapdoor
and Sickle
, but I believe there’s room for more.
Update: Since 1.0.11+1.21, a myriad of new tin-based building blocks have been added.
Iron ingots have many different roles in vanilla Minecraft. They can be used for armor, weapons, tools, pistons, chains, pressure plates and about 35 other recipes. While I don’t want bronze to be as useful as iron, as I believe it would take away from iron’s mid-game dominance as a useful material too much, I do want to add some unique features that round the material out.
To simplify this thought process:
Also, much like the Basic Weapons mod, I intend to update this mod with each new major version of Minecraft going forward. If you’ve read this far, thank you! I hope you enjoy using this mod, and if you have any queries/issues contact me via the mod’s GitHub issues, via Discord or in the CurseForge comments section🙂.
Slow Your Bronze adds compatibility between this mod and Slow Your Roll. Thank you KayoticCarnige!
The following mods have built-in compatibility with the Bronze mod. If you find incompatibilities between Bronze and any other mods, please create an issue.
Open the section below to see the y levels that tin ore can be found
Tin ore spawns between y levels -42
and 64
, with it being most plentiful around 10
.
It spawns slightly less frequently than iron ore, and only between the values given, meaning it’s
around 1.5 times more uncommon than iron ore (roughly).
The best way to find it is by going caving above the deepslate layer, or by strip mining around y =
