First release. A vanilla-friendly expansion that adds lead — a heavy, toxic new metal. Sister mod to The Silver Age.
### Additions
- Lead ore generates throughout the Overworld in iron-like veins, with richer deposits in swamps. Smelts into Lead Ingots.
- A full lead tools & armor set — a "glass cannon" with netherite-level power but the lowest durability of any tier. Lead armor also weighs the wearer down.
- Lead Horse Armor
- **Leaded Glass**, in clear and all 16 dye colors, plus glass panes in ten came patterns (grid, diamond, lattice, cross, bars and more).
- Customize placed panes in-world: right-click a region with a dye to color it, shears to make it clear again, sneak-right-click to rotate the pattern.
- Leaded glass doors and trapdoors carry their own glass design — dyeable and shearable directly, and re-glazable with a pane in hand.
- **Lead Weight** — a falling block that crushes what's under it, hangs from chains, and gets damaged on each hard landing.
- **Lead Sickness** — mining lead ore or lingering by a Lead Torch releases toxic fumes (Hunger → Weakness → Poison + Nausea).
- Creepers and pillagers keep their distance from lead torches & lanterns.
- A full decorative lead set: bricks, slabs, stairs, walls, chiseled lead, pillars, grates, bars, chains, doors, trapdoors, torches and lanterns.
- Solid lead blocks are too heavy for pistons to push, and block sculk vibrations. They're also impermeable to water and lava.
- Lead ingots appear in structure loot, and armorer / toolsmith / weaponsmith villagers buy them.
- The Fishing Rod is crafted with a lead nugget for weight; the Heavy Core is optionally craftable from lead + netherite.
- Advancements, and full localization in 17 languages (auto-translated — corrections welcome).
- Configuration options for ore generation, lead sickness, and more.
### Compatibility
- **Create** — crush lead ore into Crushed Raw Lead (and smelt/wash it back into ingots and nuggets), and press ingots into Lead Sheets.
- **Sable (Create: Aeronautics)** — every lead block is weighted; lead is heavy.
- **Farmer's Delight** — adds the Lead Knife.
- **JEI** and **EMI** — full recipe support, including the in-world pane dyeing, shearing and rotating.
