Advanced Alloys

This mod works to revolutionize early game play by allowing you to upgrade from the boring stone and iron tools. To start that this mod adds copper tools and armor which are more durable than iron but are not as fast, deal less damage, and do not give as much protection. This mod also adds a brand new block - the alloy blaster.

The alloy blaster is crafted using four furnaces, 4 cobbled deepslate, and 1 diorite(finally gives diorite a use). The alloy blaster can combine the three different metals(copper, iron, and gold) to make ingots. These ingots can make tools, weapons, and armor(and also blocks for decoration) which have about the best stats of both metals and maybe even a little extra. The different mixes allow for more tool variety depending on whether durability, protection, mining speed, or damage is important to you.

1.0.2 and onwards: Adds Copper & Iron Netherite variants which are either stronger/faster or more durable based on which one you choose. Also adds oxidized copper tools & armor which, while powerful, has many interesting drawbacks.

Since the Alloy Blaster doesn't support JEI yet I am putting the recipes here (The recipes work on REI so use that if you want easy access to recipes) (REI Recipes only work in single player for some reason)
