Hephaestus - The Blacksmith's Modification

The Hephaestus mod opens up new horizons for players in working with tools and weapons, offering a system of differential hardening, sharpening, and several unique weapon types with special abilities.

Main Features

The system significantly expands gameplay through several key mechanics:

• Introduction of new weapon types, each crafted from special materials
• Differential hardening - a progressive system for increasing tool durability
• Blade sharpening - a method to enhance weapon damage output
• Sanding sieving - using a sieve to obtain additional resources from sand
• Proficiency system - skill progression that gradually unlocks access to more advanced tools

Important note: The sharpening and differential hardening systems are compatible with most mods that add new tools to the game

Usage Guide

Crafting Blades To forge blades, you need to crouch and right-click on an anvil while holding a hammer in your main hand and the appropriate material in your offhand. For example, placing an iron ingot in your offhand allows you to forge an iron blade. Some blade types require specific proficiency levels

Tool Hardening The hardening process consists of two stages: you need to hold the tool over fire, then immerse it in a water source or cauldron. The amount of durability increase depends on your current proficiency level

Sword Sharpening To sharpen blades, you need to crouch and use the grindstone with the desired weapon in hand

Increasing Proficiency Proficiency level increases automatically through active use of the mod's features during gameplay

Starting from version 1.4.0, the mod requires Trinkets and Cardinal Components API add-ons to function
