Forging Interface

The Forging Interface is the interface used for crafting custom weapons. You open it by right-clicking the Great Forge. It is through this interface you can access the content of the mod.

Item Slots
When you open the interface, you are presented with 6 item slots: Bars, Jewels, Effect, Affinity, ???, and Result.

Bars
This slot has two functions: It will let you decide the tier and the type of your weapon. The tier of your bars decide the weapons tier, and the amount (from 5 to 10) decide the weapon type.

As of 1.2, you can also customize existing weapons by placing them in the slot. These weapons can be either unmodded weapons, or weapons from another mod.

Jewels
The jewel slot lets you decide the prefix of your weapon. There are three tiers of prefixes: If you add 1 jewel only, the prefix will provide both a bonus and a negative. If you add 5 jewels, it will provide a bonus only. If you craft 15 jewels into a Large Jewel, your item's prefix will provide two bonuses or more.

The exception to this is with Emerald, which adds only one bonus that gets stronger with the increasing tiers.

Effect
The effect slot allows you to add a special effect to your weapon. This can be done in three ways. You can either add a potion, and the potion effect will be applied to the weapon. Alternatively, you can use one of the items added in the mod: Red Hot Piston, Crystal Cog and Poisoned Piston. You can also use a Life Fruit to make the weapon heal you 5 Life occasionally.

Affinity
There are some items associated with different mob types that you can place in the affinity slot. This will increase your critical strike chance by 50% against that type of creature.

???
The purpose of this item slot is kept intentionally hidden from the forum thread : Adding Broken Hero Swords. Doing this will result in your item getting a randomly generated name, increased DPS, higher rarity and the ability to shoot projectiles.

Adding multiple Broken Hero Swords in this slot will result in the item getting even stronger and faster, but adding more than three will cause no further change.
