Alright, first I apologize if this has been suggested before and I believe that the hobbits did in fact have smithies, so this should be somewhat canon. 1. Hobbit smithies- they would have alloy forges, regular and normal hobbit crafting tables, a fire furnace thing(like in most smithies), a couple anvils, and a forge bellows(I'll get to that later), and some cheats filled with typical loot. These structures would be made of brick(regular or stone) and probably have some wood. 2. Forge bellows- in the "concerning hobbits" part of the book it said that hobbits didn't like technology more advanced than a forge bellows. My proposal is that there should be a new block(forge bellow) that when jumped on(or something) all forges in a ten block radius would get a small boost. This could perhaps also be found in other forges. 3. New anvil usage- when in an anvil there should be a new tab at the top of the GUI screen where if clicked it would open a four by four crafting grid. In this grid you would create parts for tools and weapons such as a pickaxe head or a sword hilt or an axe handle. These would be made with the same basic shape, but to make them you would need a hammer.(I'll get to that later) once you had made all the components for a sword(blade, handle, and hilt) you would then put them together in the crafting table with binding and you would have to have a hammer somewhere in there to. You would then get you finished product. 4. Hammers and binding- hammers would be made on the normal crafting table(you could still make tools to, you just need the parts) it could be made with any metal(faction table for faction ingots) and the recipe would look like a double sided axe. The hammer would then be used in the recipe at the anvil to make the desired tool part. Binding would be made of either three string or leather at a normal crafting table and would be put in the recipe for binding the tool together. If you were making galadhrim tools you would use hitlain as the binding. - stone and wood tools would still be made normally but with binding.

I know this suggestion is long but I hope it's a good one.
