    About

    Simply Steel adds steel as an early-game option for more durable tools and armor, helping players spend fewer iron pickaxes while searching for their first diamonds. Players make Crude Iron by combining an iron ingot with coal, then smelt it in a blast furnace to obtain steel ingots. Steel tools last longer than iron tools and are slightly more efficient, while steel armor has greater durability and an extra point of armor toughness; both also have slightly higher enchantability. The mod also adds a steel anvil that is less likely to crack, plus steel doors, trapdoors, bars, and blocks with tougher, more blast-resistant properties and industrial-style textures. For lighting fires, players can craft steel firestarters or make a more durable variant using quartz instead of flint; iron-based firestarters have a chance to fail when used. A steel golem, built similarly to an iron golem, has 50% more health and receives 50% more healing from ingots, making it a stronger village defender. Steel shears and advancements for steelmaking, placing a steel anvil, summoning a steel golem, and using up firestarters round out the additions.

    Written from CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16.3 to 1.18.2.

    Does not change the game's code directly.

    Adds 7 blocks, 16 items, 1 mob, 25 recipes, 4 advancements and 1 loot table.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Replaces 1 of vanilla Minecraft's recipes.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16.3 to 1.18.2.

    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 · All 6 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • 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.
      6 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. None is for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about all of them. 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.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.16.3 to 1.18.2.

    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 · All 6 files read
    • 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.

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files and images and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs and 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.
