Endersteel Chestplate

Endersteel Chestplate with Amethyst Horse Armor in the background.

There are various materials in Aetheria, each with their own purpose, rarity, and traits. Materials are used to craft a plethora of items, from accessories and cosmetics to overpowered weapons and armor. Throughout the course of the Wimpy Villager and Nether Kitten series, more and more materials have been introduced. Materials are generally categorized into 6 categories:

Metals are an extremely versatile ingredient, used to craft weapons, armor, and tools. Their large variety and versatility indicate their importance. Metalwork is a fine craft, perfected by certain races such as the Dark Dwarves and the Highborn. Several characters in the series such as Leaf and Extreme have mastered metalwork.

Alloyed Metals are especially useful and similar to other metals, they have multiple uses. For example, Bronze, Rose Gold, and Black Bronze (also known as Hepatizon) are all superior to Iron; Dark Iron, Blacksteel, and Bismuth Bronze are about on par with Obsidian; Endersteel, Redsteel, and Bluesteel are all superior to Diamond.

Legendary Materials are the very best materials. Stronger than any alloy, only someone of godlike power could desire better. Additionally, they are mined straight from the ground, as opposed to being forged.

Base Metals are the metals used to craft alloys in a crucible (3x3 furnace). They vary in rarity, from common (e.g. iron) to very rare (e.g. Platinum & Bismuth).

There are also some metals that cannot be crafted into alloys. These are sorted into the category of "Other Metals."

Nonmetals are materials that can be crafted into weapons/armor but aren't metallic. They are often less powerful and/or less durable than metals. However, they frequently have special traits that compensate for their loss of power.

A list of base metals, other metals, and nonmetals can be found at the bottom of the page.
