Forge 2.0

### Steps:

1. Use the "check" command (/forge check) to bring up a list of blocks required to construct the forge.
2. When placing the required blocks, make sure your item frame is in the middle of the arrangement; all required blocks must be 14 or less blocks away from it.
3. You can place the blocks in any arrangement you'd like around the item frame.
	* Upon forge creation the nether rack will light if you leave an open block space above it (think fireplace) however if there is not an empty space above it, the nether rack will remain unlit.
	* **Make sure any item frames not used in the forge creation are a little ways away from your forge (it doesn't jive with them).**
4. Stand in the center of the arrangement and use the "check" command (/forge check) to make sure all required blocks are within range.
5. If all of the required blocks are present and the arrangement is satisfied, use the "create" command (/forge create) and the forge is created.
6. Upon creation, a "forge item" will appear in the item frame. This item carries data such as..
	* forge owner
	* forge level
7. The "forge item" within the item frame is indestructible by most means and can typically only be destroyed by the forge owner or an admin.
	* While this prevents the forge from being destroyed by another player, it does **not** prevent other players from using it, or removing items (iron that has been smelted) from the furnaces. Therefore, we suggest you lock (with a sign, as you would on a private door) your furnaces if you wish to keep your iron from straying hands.

## 2: The Forge Process

### Iron Refinement Steps:

1. Collect iron ingots and coal from mining, trading, or buying from other player
2. Smelt the iron ingots in your forge furnaces.
	* Any iron above tier 6 needs to be smelted in a blast furnace with "Refined Fuel"
3. Once the ingots have smelted, the result is "Heated Iron"
4. With the "Heated Iron" in hand, right click an anvil; this produces "Annealed Iron".
	* There is a success/fail chance with this process

### Leather Refinement Steps:

1. Acquire leather by killing cows, trading, or buying from other player
2. Craft "Refined Leather" by putting leather and honeycomb in the crafting menu.
3. Create "Boiled Leather" by right clicking a cauldron full of water with a campfire underneath it.
4. Take this "Boiled Leather" and craft 3 with a string and a honeycomb to get "Hardened Leather"
	* Hardened Leather is used in the armor recipes directly but Refined is used to make bases to mount the protective armor plating to.

### Armor Crafting:

1. Craft the base layer for you armor out of refined leather.
2. Create Armor plates using Annealed Iron of tier choice and Flux powder.
	* See above for recipes
3. Quench the plates in cauldron full of water.
	* **Do not click on bottom half of cauldron while cooling. It has a rare chance to bypass our plate protection and render your efforts worthless.**
4. Right click them on a grindstone to shape and polish them to be ready for crafting armor.
5. Craft your armor using your shaped plates, armor bases, and hardened leather.
	* Depending on the weight class you chose will determine how protective your armor is and its durability.

## 3: Forge Level and Forge Skills

### Forge Level:

* Forge level is indicated by the Forge Item (\*item frame\*) when you put your cursor over the item.
* Forge level plays three factors
	1. Tier of armor craft-able
	2. Success and fail rates
	3. Tier of iron smeltable
* Upgrading your forge requires several factors
	+ Forge Skill Level
		1. You must have a forge skill level of 4 to upgrade to a Level 2 Forge
		2. You must have a forge skill level of 7 to upgrade to a Level 3 Forge
		3. You must have a forge skill level of 10 to upgrade to a Level 4 Forge
	+ Upgrade Materials
		- For forge level 2: 5 Diamond blocks, 5 Lapis blocks, $50,000, MCMMO PL of 2000
		- For forge level 3: 10 Diamond blocks, 10 Lapis blocks, 10 Iron blocks, 10 Purpur blocks, $500,000, MCMMO PL of 5000
		- For forge level 4: 15 Diamond blocks, 15 Lapis blocks, 15 Iron blocks, 15 Purpur blocks, 15 Coal blocks, an Enchanting table, 6 EXP bottles, 3 Nether stars,$1,000,000, MCMMO PL of 10,000

### Forge Skill Level:

* Forge skill level is found by using the "skill" command ( /forge skill )
* Forge skill level is upgraded by experience. You gain experience by completing tasks such as...
	2. Creating a forge
	3. Upgrading a forge
	4. Annealing heated iron
* Forge Skill level can determine:
	+ Success/fail rates
	+ Level of forge you can upgrade
		- defined in the "Forge Level" section ( up ^ there )
	+ Experience gained
		- the higher your skill level, the less experience you gain from simple tasks
* The Forge Skill is the parent skill of several child skills:
	+ Armor Skill
	+ Weapon Skill (possible future addition)
	+ Shield Skill
	+ Bow/Crossbow Skill (possible future addition)

### Armor Skill level:

* Armor skill level is found by using the "skill" command ( /forge skill )
* Armor skill level is upgraded by experience. You gain experience by completing tasks such as...
	2. Cooling hot raw plates
	3. Grinding raw plates
	4. Crafting armor
	5. Successfully Repairing armor
	6. Successfully Salvaging armor
* Armor Skill level can determine:
	+ The following actions can only be completed if the players armor skill is within one level or greater than the armor in question:
		- Tier of armor craft-able
		- Tier of armor repairable
		- Tier of armor salvageable
		- Armor repair success/failure chances
		- Armor salvage success/failure chance
			* This includes imbue stone salvage and armor salvage

## 6: Troubleshooting

### Error Messages:

* "Your forge level is not high enough to heat this iron!"
	+ Upgrade your forge
* "Your forge skill level is not high enough!"
	+ You need a higher skill level
* "This armor requires a forge skill of X"
	+ You need to have a higher forge skill level
* "This arrangement is not quite right! It must be correct in order to use this furnace!"
	+ The furnace isn't close enough to the forge item
	+ The arrangement is incorrect at the forge's location
		- Required items may be more than 14 blocks away from this location
		- Try "/forge check" in the problem location to troubleshoot

### FAQ:

* Why is my iron taking a long time to cook?
	+ In 1.13 and on, cook time in seconds = 1/2 time the level of heated iron you are trying to achieve
* Do the blocks need to be in a certain order or arrangement when creating the forge?
	+ No, the list given by "/forge check" is of the minimum requirements. You can have more than the quantities specified and in whatever placement you'd like as long as they are within the range.
