Latest file for Various v1.17.x:
AdvancedSmithing1.3.0.zip 1-click install


I became tired of seeing so much of my ingots going to waste.
So I made recipies for
Arrowheads (14x)
Chisels (2x)
Hoes (3x)
Knives (2x)
Padlocks (2x)
Prospecting Picks (2x)
Saw Blades (2x)
Scythe Blades (2x)
Wrenches (3x)


Some of the recipies are only more efficient if you only use one ingot. All fo them require more technical work of the metal to move the voxels to where you need them.

The recipies are additions and not replacements. 

Unless and until smithing is overhauled or the above tools are removed / significantly changed, the mod should work on all furture updates.

Please post any errors you recieve if you have problems.

Still seems to work in 1.19

💬 OpPointBakerAuthor, Oct 28th 2023 at 7:11 PM

Yeah. I fully intend on adding them. Going to wait for rc.1 of 1.19 to udate it. With all the backend changes coming in 1.19 I want to wait until then so I'm not doubling my efforts if 1.19 breaks the mod. [and so I can add any new items added in 1.19]

💬 TheSapphicSeas, Oct 23rd 2023 at 9:28 PM

Any chance of adding versions for nails and strips?

💬 OpPointBakerAuthor, Aug 18th 2023 at 1:45 PM

I have not checked yet myself [Thank you Baulder's Gate 3]. But to my knowledge, no changes were made to the smithing mechanics that should invalidate the mod. If they don't woprk, let me know and I'll get on updating the mod. :)

Does this work on 1.18.8 with .7Net?

💬 Jaarl, Jun 6th 2023 at 8:40 AM

Thanks for this! It really helps save on the ingots a fair bit!

Pervy_Sage I wish someone would do a voxel diagram on the 14 arrow head layout as I end up getting stuck with one voxel that I can't get in place.  

💬 Pervy_Sage, Jan 18th 2023 at 6:37 AM

1. When smithing the 14 arrowhead recipe if you get a voxel on the very left or very right edge it can no longer move back toward the center. Idk if you this is a limitation of vanilla but the only solution is resmelting the ingot.

2. The higher producing recipes like the 14 arrowheads take a bit of getting used to in order to move the voxels correctly (this is part of the vanilla mechanic). A voxel needs free space to move right/left or up/down, if it's got a voxel to it's right/left it can't move right/left and the same for up/down. Unless there's a voxel under it, a voxel can't move around the grid, in open space, they need at least 1 other voxel, to move in tandem, with them. To do this, hit them on top of each other as you move them in the desired direction.

Thank you for this mod. Very much needed and balanced.

💬 OpPointBakerAuthor, Nov 22nd 2022 at 8:07 PM

I don't use Bullseye, so I can't be certain, but looking at the mod's files I can see that it changes smithing to incorporate the black Iron mod. That could be the source of the incompatibility.

💬 TeacupAngel, Nov 19th 2022 at 11:11 PM

I'm honestly curious about the incompatibility with Bullseye too. It doesn't change smithing at all, and this mod doesn't seem to touch anything other than smithing recipes.

💬 OpPointBakerAuthor, Nov 19th 2022 at 12:26 AM

I don't know about combatability with bulleye. Looking at the vanilla recipe, there is enough metal to make 3 wrenches per ingot. [1 ingot is 42 voxels, 1 wrench is 13 voxels, 3 would be 39 voxels.] life is chaotic at the moment, but I expect to be able to do that soon. :)

💬 Ruyeex, Nov 16th 2022 at 3:48 PM

Can you make the you could do 1 ingot for 2 wrenches and be compatible to bulleye.

💬 OpPointBakerAuthor, Sep 20th 2022 at 12:59 AM

Just tested this in 1.17. All schematics worked as intended. Let me know if you have any problems.

💬 Lunchbox, Sep 19th 2022 at 2:36 AM

Is there any news on if this mod will be coming to 1.17?

💬 BlueFuryDragon, May 23rd 2022 at 3:15 AM

Is there a video or a direction sheet showing how the voxels can be moved for the Scythe Blades?  I waist so much time and reheating trying to get the Scythe Blades done. Some of the voxels move then others don't, it's confusing when you don't do it all the time. It also doesn't feel intuitive to me and oesn't make scense on what is alowed to move and what isn't.

💬 Theisgood, Apr 15th 2022 at 10:48 PM

So these are all balanced I see.

Now with 1 ingot, is it possible to make 2X axe heads and pickaxe heads or no do you need 2 ingots?

I never looked to see if there was enough voxels left over to create another pickaxe head/axe head.

💬 Rayle, Feb 26th 2022 at 4:16 AM

Thanks for making them additions instead of replacements :D It's a very nice change

💬 OpPointBakerAuthor, Feb 24th 2022 at 2:23 PM

Only thing I can think of that would be causing a crash with this mod is if you have a mod that is tryting to patch the same files I was in version 1.1.0. Now that with the new version uses entirely new recipies, it should be compatible with mods that patch the vanilla files.

💬 Gerard_, Feb 3rd 2022 at 5:07 PM

I don't know if this is the only problem with me, or if it's the fault of other mods, but when placing hot brass ingots or copper lead ingots on the anvil, the game crash.

💬 noom_tv, Jan 23rd 2022 at 6:05 AM

I would like to suggest leaving the original recipes so that the option is still there for those not confident enough with the increased complexity. Much like how the current arrow head recipes would allow you to do the lower numbers, in exchange for it being easier to complete.
