Smithing: Difference between revisions

To smith items you first need an [[Anvil|anvil]], [[Hammer|hammer]], [[Forge|forge]], fuel ([[Coal|coal]] or charcoal), and [[Metal|metal]] ingots.

To start smithing, you must first add fuel to the forge by holding shift + right mouse click, then add your ingot in the same way. To ignite the forge, shift + right click it with a torch. Once the [[Metal|metal]] is over 60% its melting point it can be worked. Take it from the [[Forge|forge]] (right click) and place it on the [[Anvil|anvil]] (shift + right click). This will open up a dialog allowing you to choose what to tool/weapon to craft.

Your goal is now to fill in the empty blue squares with [[Metal|metal]]. Hit 'F' with a [[Hammer|hammer]] in your hand to see your tool modes. You need to hit an existing metal voxel to add more metal. The metal will spread from the voxel you hit based on the mode that you select.

The first mode (spread), will spread 3 blocks. See explanation below. The next 4 modes add a metal block in a single direction and the last one removes a piece of metal. If your work item cools down too much you will need to reheat it on the forge.

 

If you run out of metal while forging an item you will need to add another ingot. Place another hot ingot on top of the work item for refilling. Some items are impossible to finish with one ingot, such as the metal plate.
