Latest file for v1.17.11:
blacksmiths-0.3.1.zip 1-click install


This no longer works with 1.18 or 1.19 or newer VS versions.

Please do not use.


This mod is all about working with metal.

  • Makes it easier to craft chutes, allows recycling of chutes, hoppers and full metal blocks.
  • Adds springs to doors to make them autoclose after a few seconds.
  • Craft metal sheets and thin sheet, and attach these as decoration to any solid face.
  • Craft sheet metal blocks both in dull and polished variants.

This mod is currently in an alpha stage - please be careful and make a backup of your world!

We hope you enjoy our work,

~ Tels & Phiwa

Drathek This mod is not compatible with 1.18 or 1.19 and has been deprecated due to the massive changes required to fix all the doors and the metal blocks. Sorry!

Not only do wooden vanilla doors (e.g. pine) not combine with a spring when crafting, the handbook recipe has a question mark block for wooden doors (iron door is fine), and if you view the recipe you will crash:

Btw, doors will only autoclose if you attach a spring to them, so medival expansion and this mod should not conflict with each other.

💬 TelsAuthor, Oct 22nd 2022 at 1:10 PM

I haven't had time to work on this mod for quite some time, and the code wasn't written by me, so unfortuately I can't make any promises here.

💬 gndrneutralnoun, Oct 12th 2022 at 5:57 PM

Could you make a config option to disable the springs and spring doors? I use Auto Close instead, but I like the other features of this mod.

How many mods do you need @Tels :D
