Tin is a lightweight, fast-swinging metal found deep where stone meets deepslate, used for armor, tools, and detailed decorative blocks like grates and lanterns. Bronze, an alloy of tin and copper, bridges the gap between iron and diamond, offering improved durability and natural fire resistance while also featuring decorative block variants. Rose Gold, crafted from gold and copper, matches iron’s strength but surpasses it in efficiency, enchantability, and longevity. You can also use Rose Gold to create a Mage Golem, which uses nearby enchanting power power to block monsters from spawning. Each metal supports different playstyles, encouraging variety in tools and builds rather than a single “best” choice.

Raw tin can also commonly be found in mountainous areas, and infrequently in standard cave walls. Breaking a tin ore block will typically yield 1-3 Raw Tin. Tin may also be found in the Soul Sand Valleys, at any height, and will drop tin nuggets when mined. Tin ingots and gear can also be found as loot in villages. !(https://i.imgur.com/IQXgXqk.png) Raw tin can be smelted into ingots, which can be crafted into a wide variety of decorative blocks, as well as a standard suite of armor and tools. Tin gear is generally faster and more lightweight than iron, as well as being easier to craft, as a single tin deposit will yield significantly more metal than a single iron deposit. However, this comes at the cost of lower stats, and less durability. !(https://i.imgur.com/obpWYO0.png) Tin can also be crafted into a full suite of decorative blocks, which, similar vanilla's copper, will oxidize over time, tarnishing into a grayish-brown tone. Tarnished Tin is twice as tough as regular tin making it excellent for aging and using to protect your builds. Tin oxidizes slightly slower thank copper blocks. Just like copper blocks, tin blocks are able to be waxed via honeycombs through the crafting grid and overworld interaction. They are also able to be scraped with an axe to remove the wax or oxidization. This process functions identically to that of vanilla copper blocks. !(https://i.imgur.com/R8wdIdW.png) Tin blocks are able to be crafted into a plethora of decorative blocks. These include chiseled, cut, tile, and shingle variants. doors, trapdoors, chains, and a larger lantern variant are also able to be crafted. Each of these blocks tarnish over time. !(https://i.imgur.com/qYKofNF.png) !(https://i.imgur.com/QL1ojp2.png) A familar ancient tower structure known as the Lost Citadel can be found in the nether, specifically in Soul Sand Valleys, this structure is made of a new block called soul bricks (craftable via soul soil). There are four different variants of the Citadel that can be found scattered across the Soul Sand Vallies. This ancient tower is home to the many skeletons. It can be found littered with treasu chest, suspicous soul soil, and heaping amounts on tin. !(https://i.imgur.com/p40pBe1.png) ## 📖Bronze As an alloy, bronze does not generate as an ore, and instead must be crafted by combining 4 raw copper and 4 raw tin in a crafting grid, in any pattern. This will produce 4 crude bronze, which can then be smelted into bronze ingots. Bronze can also be found as loot in villages, as well as many other structures around the Overworld. !(https://i.imgur.com/DS4N2Kc.png) Bronze ingots can be crafted into bronze gear. It i
