Description

Smithworks

A small vanilla-flavoured mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge. No new ores, no machines, no tech magic — just the gear the base game was missing: a composite bow, steel arrows, a dagger, a warhammer and a flint spear, plus a mangal that cooks food three times faster than a furnace and a whetstone that patches up your equipment.

Weapons

Item Damage Attack speed Durability What it does
Composite bow — full draw in 14 ticks 768 reaches full power faster than a vanilla bow, arrow speed 3.8 instead of 3.0
Steel arrow — — — base damage 3.0 instead of 2.0, crafted four at a time
Steel dagger 3 3.4 320 +3.5 damage on a backstab, never hits nearby mobs
Iron warhammer 10 1.0 520 knocks back, slows the target for 2.5 s and breaks through shields
Flint spear 6 1.8 300 reaches 1.75 blocks further than a sword, never hits nearby mobs

The composite bow accepts every arrow from the minecraft:arrows tag, steel arrows included, and works with all vanilla enchantments: Power, Punch, Flame, Infinity, Unbreaking, Mending.

Mangal

A grill that cooks food only — and does it three times faster than a furnace: 70 ticks (3.5 s) against 200 for a furnace and 100 for a smoker. It burns any furnace fuel, from coal to lava buckets, gives off light level 13, smokes and crackles, and its screen has three slots: food, fuel and output.

Whetstone

Right-click with a damaged item while carrying flint to restore 25% of maximum durability — one flint per sharpening, half a second cooldown. It works on anything that can be repaired: weapons, tools and armour.
