## Trivia

* Dark Metal Ingots, its armor and tools, and their self-repairing properties, albeit through the use of soul energy, is based on and inspired by [Thaumcraft](https://legacy.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/thaumcraft)'s [Void metal Ingots](https://ftb.fandom.com/wiki/Void_metal_Ingot).
  * Dark Metal was created due to the mod author getting tired of getting their armor and tools broken and to give soul energy more uses.
