Metal processing

I propose an idea for a future Minecraft update to diversify crafting and introduce new mechanics: a metalworking system. **Metallurgical Furnaces:** A new furnace exclusively for smelting metals (iron, copper, gold, and potential new metals). **Alloys:** Craft alloys like steel (iron + coal) or bronze (copper + tin) for more durable tools, armor, and mechanisms. **Blacksmithing:** Add an anvil for forging and enhancing metal items. Players could improve durability and efficiency or add special properties (e.g., anti-corrosion for iron). **New Tools/Weapons:** Introduce metal tools and weapons with varying durability and properties. Steel could be stronger but heavier, bronze more flexible. **Decorative Elements:** Create metal parts for structures (gates, grills, ornaments), enhancing building options. This system would enrich gameplay, especially for those focused on crafting and building. It would also be essential for both survival and creative modes. Thank you for considering this idea!
