'''Steel''' is a tier 5 {{ll|Alloy|alloy}} composed of {{ll|Iron|iron}} and carbon. It is refined from {{ll|Blister_steel|blister steel}}, an intermediate product created by carburizing iron {{ll|Ingot|ingots}} with {{ll|Coal|coal}} in a cementation furnace.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Steel can be smithed into {{ll|Tools|tools}}, {{ll|Weapons|weapons}}, {{ll|Armor|armor}}, and other items. It is the highest tier metal in the game and has the greatest durability, mining speed, attack power, and damage reduction of all craftable equipment.

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
The steel making process begins in the cementation furnace, a player-built structure made of {{ll|Refractory_brick|refractory bricks}}, an {{ll|Door|iron door}}, and a stone coffin. In each firing of the cementation furnace, 16 {{ll|Iron|iron}} {{ll|Ingot|ingots}} and 40 pieces of a high-quality carbon-bearing material (i.e., {{ll|Charcoal|charcoal}} or {{ll|Coke|coke}}) are placed inside a coffin and sealed. The furnace is then ignited from the pile of {{ll|Fuel|fuel}} underneath. After approximately 1 week, the coffin can be broken to retrieve 16 ingots of {{ll|Blister_steel|blister steel}} and leftover carbon material.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Blister steel is refined by heating it in a {{ll|Forge|forge}}, transferring it to an {{ll|Anvil|anvil}}, and using a {{ll|Hammer|hammer}} to remove the slag and shape it into a steel ingot. The refining process can also be automated with a {{ll|Helve_hammer|helve hammer}}.

|1.14.6-rc.1; <span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">The durability of steel tools was increased, with most having 2.5x the durability of iron tools. The mining speed of the steel pickaxe was slightly increased.</span>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
* As with all {{ll|Metal|metals}}, a steel ingot can be converted into 20 steel bits by combining it with a {{ll|Chisel|chisel}} in the crafting grid. Since steel cannot be cast, however, steel bits are functionally useless.
