Steel is a mid-tier alloy used to create [machine frames](@oritech:machine_frame_block),
[item pipes](@oritech:item_pipe), and various other components.

Steel can be made in a crafting grid using iron and coal:

<CraftingRecipe
    slots={[
        'minecraft:iron_ingot',
        'minecraft:iron_ingot',
        '',
        'minecraft:coal',
        'minecraft:coal',
        '',
        '',
        '',
        ''
    ]}
    result="oritech:steel_ingot"
    count={1}
/>

The [foundry](@oritech:foundry_block) can produce more steel with less iron and coal.
