Meteoric Iron - how to get

[DoctorVanGogh]

So... I'm kinda stumped on meteoric iron. It looks gorgeous, especially the armor - I want it

Was lucky enough to stumble over a meteorite, mined that up (already had an iron pick). But then I learn that the iron meteorite pieces smelt into .... plain Iron?

So how the heck do I get meteoric iron if not from a meteor?

...Wut? o_O Is your game modded?

Because the default behavior is definitely: toss pieces into bloomery, light up, wait, receive ingot. Meteoric iron ingot, not plain iron. Worked perfectly fine for me just the other day.

Thank you for pointing to mods as the cause.

Time to chuck some iron into a bush and "magic" some meteoric iron from the sky I guess

Why is that in a shingles mod...? 

[Streetwind]

Perhaps the original author's personal tweak, which slipped in unnocticed, and came from a time when meteoric iron had no use yet...?

Someone goofed!

Well... looking at the "original" mod over on nexus "[...] i dont know how to JsonPatch it correctly" and some comments "your mod appears to zero out the pulverizer recipe for Crushed Bauxite" as well as my issue it looks to me like someone made a copy of some files which have now become stale...

Oh well...

Meteor pieces used to smelt into iron ingots before it was added in 1.14 but now it has its own ingots
