About
Metalmith expands Minecraft’s gear and crafting options by creating new alloys from vanilla materials, without adding new minerals. It adds copper weapons, tools, armor, and nuggets, with copper gear positioned between stone or leather and iron; copper can also substitute for iron in some recipes. Three further materials provide upgrade paths for existing gear: Silicon Bronze is made from copper and diorite, Vein Gold from gold and Nether Quartz, and Flam Iron from iron, obsidian, and a magma block, with each raw material smelted in a Blast Furnace and gear upgraded at a Smithing Table without a template. Their properties differ: Silicon Bronze gear is stronger than iron but weaker than diamond and can replace iron in recipes for rails, minecarts, and cauldrons, producing double output; Vein Gold gear retains gold-like qualities with improved durability, while its armor also has greater toughness and pacifies Piglins; Flam Iron gear matches diamond gear’s attributes with greater durability. Silicon Bronze, Vein Gold, and Flam Iron gear can be repaired with copper, gold, and iron ingots respectively. With MineColonies installed, Blacksmiths and Mechanics can use copper and Silicon Bronze in place of iron for recipes, and Blacksmiths learn the added material recipes as they advance in level. The mod also replaces vanilla and MineColonies armor textures to give them a unified visual style.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.1 latest file, for a recent version. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of its one file, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
