Description

FTB Armory

FTB Armory adds three metals that tier above netherite: Adamantite, Aeternium and Aurichalcum. Each one is found in a different dimension and has its own sword, spear, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, AIOT and armor set.

It was made for FTB Evolution 2 but should work in other packs as well.

Finding the ores

Adamantite ore is in the Overworld, in stone and deepslate. It gets more common the deeper you dig, and most of it's near bedrock. Aeternium ore generates in the Nether between Y 32 and Y 100. For Aurichalcum you need to reach the End, where the ore generates between Y 16 and Y 72.

Adamantite and Aeternium ores need a netherite pickaxe. No vanilla pickaxe can mine Aurichalcum ore, so you need an Adamantite or Aeternium pickaxe first. The ores drop raw ore, which works with Fortune, and Silk Touch gives you the ore block. Raw ore, the ore blocks and dusts all go into a furnace or blast furnace for ingots.

Making the gear

Every Adamantite, Aeternium tool and armor piece uses a custom smithing item to upgrade. Aurichalcum gear is upgraded the same way from either Adamantite or Aeternium gear.

The AIOT is crafted from a full set of that metal's sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe. It mines anything a pickaxe, axe, shovel or hoe can. Right click strips logs, scrapes copper, removes wax, makes paths and puts out campfires, and sneak right click tills soil.

How they compare

Adamantite gear has more durability and armor toughness than Aeternium. Aeternium wears out sooner but mines faster, hits harder and takes enchantments far better. Aurichalcum is stronger than both in everything except enchantability, and none of its gear ever loses durability.

Materials

Each metal has a storage block, a raw block, ingots, nuggets, dusts, plates, gears, rods and wires. There are also tiny, small and dirty dusts, chunks, clumps, clusters, crystals and shards, all tagged under the common c: tags so ore processing and machine mods can use them. Everything from all three metals is fire resistant.
