Progressive Smithing adds tiered smithing templates that let armor, tools, and weapons move through a simple upgrade ladder: leather to copper, copper to gold, gold to chainmail, chainmail to iron, and iron to diamond.

The mod is built for Minecraft 1.21.10 with Architectury, so the same codebase can target Fabric and NeoForge.

• Adds custom smithing templates for each upgrade step.
• Places the templates in loot so they can be found in normal play.
• Adds smithing recipes for armor and tools.
• Uses a vanilla-style Ingredients tab entry on Fabric.

• Minecraft 1.21.10
• Java 21
• Fabric Loader 0.19.2 on Fabric
• NeoForge Loader

Use the Gradle wrapper from the project root:

export JAVA_HOME="$(brew --prefix openjdk@21)/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home"
./gradlew buildd

The built jars are written to the platform build/libs folders.

To launch the Fabric client:

export JAVA_HOME="$(brew --prefix openjdk@21)/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home"
./gradlew :fabric:runClientt
