Combining a Bronze Ingot with an Iron Tool (3 Bronze Ingots are made of 2 Copper Ingots and 1 Tin Ingot) in the Smithing Table could make a Bronze Tool! Bronze Tools could be stronger, faster, and generally prettier than Iron ones. This should be added because even though the Smithing table can be accessed early-game, it is not used until late-game. Making Bronze tools with the smithing table would make it be used much more.

I think that it should be golden tools that get upgraded into an alloy, since they're virtually useless right now. Maybe instead of bronze tools, it should be gilded tools? They could have the speed of gold, but with the durability and mining potential of iron, making them much more useful. It'll still leaving diamond and netherite where they are, since diamonds are still very fast and are leagues more durable than gilded, but still being a viable alternative pre-max enchants due to their speed.
Joseph Rahner Bronze is not weaker than iron. Bronze is weaker than carburized iron, iron mixed with carbon that is basically steel.
I really like this idea! I think it would be super fun to see this in the game, and maybe you could make bronze ingots that could be used for new recipes? I felt like the telescope could be crafted with bronze instead of copper, making it a bit more challenging to get, as you would need iron. Maybe you could even make a new combat item, like a bronze gauntlet or something.
MDGCixle101 thanks! I think we should leave it up to the devs of whether they want to change the recipe, but I agree that the bronze ingot could be a thing. Maybe the bronze ingot could be the way to stop copper blocks from oxidizing, by combining copper with iron to make the block.
I think there should be more use to this besides protection/faster/stronger than iron. I could just use diamond for that. Wooden Tools can be obtained early-game, Iron armor is plentiful and cheap, even gold armor has a use as it can be used to protect from piglins. I just don't see the use of this.
TympanicCafe546 the use of Bronze Armor is that it is stronger than iron while also being more plentiful than diamond. As for the "special use" thing, i have another thread relating to that.
Wilhelkus You have a good point that is somewhat correct. Although I already know what Calcite, Silverfish, Hyphae, and Arthropods are, most of your other points are true, not many people, including me, would know what they are. With the exception of Tuff, The stone types just sound like stone lol. "Arthropods" is just mentioned in an enchantment, and if people google what it does, they would most likely find out what arthropods are too. "Elytra" just sounds made up, and most people would think that it is a fictional item used only in the world of Minecraft (which is wrong, Elytra does exist irl, but that's not the point)
There are two main problems with Cassiterite.
A) It sounds much more like a stone than a metal, and it is also a mouthful to say.
B) If tin is added, it would obviously just be called Tin. Calling it Cassiterite would confuse people.
Noodle Boy I have already addressed this issue, please read my response to TympanicCafe546.
SnappyDolphin24 Thank you for your feedback! However, I don't think the speed buff is very realistic, and I think the idea with the fauns in the link to TympanicCafe is enough to buff it. The main thing that this gives is an early-game use for the smithing table, and a bridge between the iron and diamond tiers.

I like the direction, you're going in; you're adding a large sink for non-builders. However, I wouldn't use iron tools to be put on the chopping block. Another user mentioned gold tools, giving the durability of iron, but still allowing diamond & netherite to remain on top.

*looks around at the dozens of people wanting new ores as well*
*looks at how every ore in the game is named "<material> Ore". No Hematite, no Native Gold, no Kimberlite, no Native Copper*
People want more ores, and have been begging for more ores. Mojang never said they wouldn't add more ores after Copper, just that there were no plans. Just because YOU don't know about something doesn't make it obscure. And I'm offering that Tin would have the same use as Copper: decoration blocks. I'm not asking for a million new ores here, just one. I don't know how obscure YOU think Copper + Tin = Bronze is, I know most well known cases of mods implementing Bronze use copper and tin. I'm not saying Tin Ore should be called Cassiterite. That's just one of the most common Tin ores. There aren't many uses for Copper and Amethyst as of yet, so what? They were added last week, while most other ores were added nine or ten years ago, and have had a long time to gain new uses. I'm not asking for Sapphires and Rubies and a million other things because "it would be cool", I'm advocating for one ore. One ore, so that the alloy Bronze is made with the same composition as real life. And I offered a use, as decoration, the same as Copper.TymJuniver
"Things don't need to be exactly the same as real life." They seem to be wanting to use the game as education more and more. They add useless mobs because "They're rare and we don't want to incentivize killing them, but to bring attention to their plights". As much as it may annoy the **** out of us, it seems that they want us to learn something, for some reason. (They've clearly botched the implementation, and now some people kill these 'endangered animals' in sight simply because they're useless.) Considering this, considering that they were gonna have us breed parrots with chocolate chip cookies (which would poison a real parrot), considering that they made coral blocks die when placed on the surface, while sea pickles don't, *considering that it would have costed them $0 to not do these things*, they did. If they're going to add Bronze, they should at least not give almost three hundred million people the misconception that Bronze is made with Copper and Iron in real life. They made Coal appear in beds or seams, they will make copper appear in veins, and they make Diamond appear near lava tubes. Why shouldn't they make Bronze craftable from Copper and Tin?They probably should add Tin first so that you can combine it with copper to make bronze; definitely think there could be some room for bronze tools. Less durable than diamond, but a similar mining efficiency.
we definitely need more uses for the smithing table. so something like bronze would be nice but maybe make it an alloy of copper and iron (not like real life, but the idea of alloys can still be educational). we could possibly also add steel now we're at it (possibly a combo of iron and coal=carbon).
Bronze could be a durability improvement to stone and Steel a durability and efficiency improvement to iron.
It should also add unique effect that other tools/weapons don't have, but don't really have an idea for the moment...
This would additionaly make the smithing table an alloy-only utility.Rather than being crafted with copper and iron, copper and tin should be used, as in real life. Tin could be found rarely in most cases, but have a higher spawn rate in mountains, like gold in mesa, but tin would be much rarer initially. This would add another new feature to the "cliffs" and caves at the same time.
This is an interesting idea, maybe we could use the smithing table to make alloy's, combining ores to get new metals. We could potentially get steel, silver, and bronze as mentioned, as well as potentially sapphire if for example we combine diamonds or emeralds with amethyst. Not sure how the devs would feel about this though, if we're going to get new metals we might as well add ores, though I think it would be awesome if we could have more metals like copper where they are smelted into ingots but aren't used to make standard tools or armor.
For example say we add silver, instead of silver gear you could craft some kind of totem that could pacify intimidate undead mobs. We could also use new ores to craft new weapons because lets say for example need steel to craft a hammer and it could be a steel exclusive thing o something.
