I like the Hardcore Fire idea, seems really great and the related torch thingy really feels logic!
Hay Bale is nice too, it's been seen dozens of times in various mods... I wonder why it is still not Vanilla!
I'm a bit more sceptic about the cobble to gravel thing... I'm not sure a millstone could grind stone like so!
Regarding Soulforged Copper... not sure about this one. Maybe another name/recipe for it? I mean, I'd like the idea of SFS being unique in the way you make it, but that's only my point of view!
Anyway, this add-on looks rather nice. Looking forward to trying it!

Soul Silver. It would be obtained through trading iron and soul urns with a priest, and would have effects that vary with the moon phases - separate from enchantment effects.
On the internet you can be whatever you want. It's surprising so many people choose to be stupid.

The grinding cobble thing was just for me, I wouldn't add that to the mod as I said before.
I called it soulforged Bronze (not copper) because making bronze out of Copper and tin would be too easy, there needs to be some cost, there can't just be Bronze, there would be no reason to just get bronze as opposed to Iron. It has to be a new level of technology, which in this case would be alongside steel.

I like your idea, however, I am not a big fan of all the magic-ey stuff, and I don't think I would really implement that alongside soul bronze because that is just one too many minerals, Bronze is already taking a big step away from the normal balance of minecraft minerals, with both it would just be implementing features just to implement features.

There is no issue with the higher tech. I think it would be good to have another high tech material. The issue is that the process is too similar to SFS. If it still required the tech near steel, but was made entirely differently, then it would be much better.

Yeah now that I think about it, you have a valid point. I just have no idea how I would do it without making it too easy. The way it's done in those other forge mods is by having tin and copper powder, but that doesn't seem realistic, probable, interesting, or higher tech, for better than wolves.
I guess it needs to be slightly easier to get than SS too, or I dunno, maybe harder.

Is there anything that you'd like to see in it?

I think the properties and possible role of soulforged Bronze plays auf big role in determining where in the tech tree it should be placed and how hard it should be to acquire it.
So far I only saw the super enchantability as possible property. How do you want to go about that, considering FC plans to rip out vanilla enchants completely?

He does? Then maybe they'll just have some sort of special abilities. I dunno, I was gonna let my friends and the community decide...Also bout to post another picture for the bronze portion(That's my favorite of the two.)

My bad. Must have been sleepy when I wrote my message... Soulforged Bronze of course!
Sorry for skipping the fact that you wouldn't implement the "cobble to gravel thing" as well...
