(corrected boiling point value of tin)
(Removed reference to Tin being a good wood alternative. It is only 8% lighter than Iron and 6 times heavier than bloodthorn, with the barrels and bins weighing in at over 100 kg.)

Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Tin is an uncommon, low-value metal whose only ore is cassiterite. Although it is not very useful itself, it is a component in the creation of a number of valuable alloys, such as fine pewter (used for decorations and furniture) and bronze (also useful for weapons). On its own, tin is not magma safe, or even fire safe, and will melt in a grass fire.

If you have a lot of cassiterite, it might be better to use it for tin glaze rather than tin bars. Tin bars cannot be used for tin glaze.
