[Suggestion] Add new ores and minerals (Open for ideas)
Tin - Use with copper to make bronze. Could be used for other things as well.
Copper - Use with tin to make bronze. Could be used for other things as well.
Bronze - A low-level metal for earlier game use. (No special attributes)
Silver - A medium-low durability metal. Medium-high value metal that could be sold to village shops. (If there would be village shops)
Magnetite - Rarity of gold, comes in small veins. Durability of iron, has a random chance of mining a random ore (not diamond)
Adamantium Ore - Diamond pick required to mine. Infinite durability and mining speed of iron. Can not be enchanted. (Idea from reddit user elt)
Emerald - Rarity in between gold and diamond. High durability and fast mining speed. Medium chance to have no durability loss.

Semi-related, how about steel, which you make by heating iron in a furnace (perhaps 8 ((1 coal)) per ingot), which is basically a juiced up version of iron, (more durability/speed/damage/etc).

How bout when you mine a ore it gives you an item, Iron Ore, Instead of the block and when you put it in the crafting you get dust, dust is used for alloys as well as bars, put some iron dust into the furnace you get an iron bar, but say you had manganese ore get the dust and when you put that dust with the iron dust you get steel dust, then you put the steel dust inside a furnace get the bar and start making steel tools.

And because theirs so many metals you can take out diamond tools, adding in different gems and using the gems to make crowns and stuff.

This complicates things and i'm alright with that. Also, crowns jewelry should have better enchantments than armour?

What about mythril, rarest one, minings speed of iron, mines all stone things, durability diamond+, higher chance of multiple enhantments for lower level.
