Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Metallurgy: Part I

Minecraft could use a bit more variety in its metals, and the real world process of metallurgy is very cool, so I came up with a system I think fits the Mojang philosophy. The Crucible -How to Get : The Crucible is an item necessary to get almost all of the new metals. Throughout the world you can find steel upgrade trims, in mineshafts, village blacksmiths (loot & trades), trail ruins, stronghold and woodland mansions. WIth a steel upgrade trim, 3 stone bricks, a blast furnace, and 4 iron ingots you can craft a crucible. -What does it Do?: The crucible is used to combine 2 metals, or a metal and another component, to create an alloy, which may then be used to make armor and gear. Steel -How to Get :As said before, you can find steel upgrade trims, and if you put a piece of iron gear in a smithing table with a trim and a piece of coal or charcoal it turns into steel. The other way, is if you put 1 iron ingot and 1 coal or charcoal into a crucible, then over 30 seconds and using fuel for 6 items, you create a steel scrap. You can combine 3 steel scraps and an iron ingot in a crafting table to make a steel ingot, which then may be crafted into gear. -Statistics: Steel gear is close to diamond in statistics, with the same protection and damage. But steel has the enchantability of iron, slightly less durability than diamond, halfway between iron and diamond, and slightly slower mining speed than diamond. Steel can mine almost everything diamond can, except for obsidian
