Bronze & viking mod: Bronze & other metals

Bronze & viking adds a variety of metals and alloys:

* Tin
* Bronze
* Steel
* Jotun ore
* Jotun iron
* Silver
* Frœyja's Tear
* Ring Ore

**Tin**

Tin is a metal that generates naturally anywhere in Midgard and Svartalfaheim, it is posible in theory for it to generate in Niflheim too, but since it generates in stone blocks and there is none in Niflheim you'll never see it there. To gather it you only need a stone pickaxe or avobe level pickaxe.

Tin does not need to be smelted and can be used to make 1 Bronze ingot by crafting 1 Tin with 2 Copper ingots.

A Tin block is used as the center of the Ritual Stone Recipe.

**Bronze**

Bronze is an alloy slightly worse than iron in strength and durability but easier to get, it is made with 2 Copper ingots and 1 Tin nugget. It can be used to make Bronze Swords, Bronze Axes and Bronze Spears. It can also be used to make the Bronze armor, the Bronze chainmail armor, Bronze blocks and Bronze nuggets.

Bronze Ingots are used in the Ritual Stone recipe in the same way that coal is used in the Steel Ingot recipe.

**Steel**

This alloy is created by combining carbon and Iron, there are two ways to get it. The first way is by crafting 1 Iron ingot with 4 Coal or Charcoal in each side like a cross, the second way is crafting 1 Iron ingot with 8 Bonemeal items surrounding it. Steel is used to make the Steel sword, Steel Axe, Steel Spear, Steel block and Steel Armor, it does not have a chainmail variant and it can be confused with Netherite very easily.

The steel sword can be combined with some runes to create legendary weapons like Thyrfing or Skofnung.

Steel armor has 10 times more knockback resistance than Netherite but less protection, it sits in the middle of Iron and Diamond Tier.

Steel blocks have a massive resistance to explosions, making them good for building bunkers if you need something stronger than obsidian.

**Jotun ore**

Jotun dust ore is a very rare material found only in Jotunheim, it only generates on the top level between dirt and cobblestone, it is however very useful since it can be infused into Steel Ingots through a Smithing table to create the Jotun Iron Ingot.

You need at least an Iron pickaxe to gather it. The best way to find it is through viking grenades or other explosives since it has a explosion resistance of 40.

**Jotun iron**

To get Jotun iron ingots you must add Jotun dust ore into Steel ingots in a Smithing table, Jotun iron can be used to craft tools that are avobe diamond tier, it is also used to make the Útgarða-Loki's Horn, the Magic shears, the Gridalvor staff and Jarngreipr bracelets. Making it the most important allow in the mod. It is commonly used in crafting recipes with Froeyja's tears.

**Silver**

Silver is a metal that generates in Jotunheim, Alfheim, Vanaheim and Asgard, it needs to be gathered using avobe diamond tier pickaxes, when used against undead either on armor or on weapons it has a poisoning like effect called Silver poisoning. Silver can also be used to make tools unlike Steel and Bronze, but it can be used to make a Spear unlike Jotun Ingots.

The weapon and tools made from silver have a similar tier than regular Iron but are way better than Jotun Iron when dealing with undead, this is why Silver is strongly recomended when entering and exploring Helheim.

**Frœyja's Tear**

Although not considered a metal or alloy, they are made of gold and can be smelted into gold.

Frœyja's tears are droppes by Vanr's in Vanaheim, they are used in a lot of recipes in the game and are esential to complete the main objective of reaching Asgard, they are also the filling item in the Ritual Stone Recipe.

**Ring Ore**

This is not a metal nor an alloy but a reference to norse mythology, it can be found in Vanaheim and Alfheim and it is able to be mined by hand, when mined it will dropp a Draupnir Ring. In norse mythology Draupnir was a ring gifted to Odin wich would replicate itself by 8 each night, in this mod a Draupnir ring can be crafted into 8 of itself at any time, then they can be smelted into golden ingots making each single one a infinite source of gold if you have the time and fuel for it.
