About this Mod
Forgero
Forgero is a tool creation and customization mod with an immense amount of variations and possible upgrades. This mod allows you to construct tools consisting of a variety of parts, procedurally generated based on available materials and schematics found scattered through your world. The core of this mod completely data driven, which makes it possible to create a configuration that perfectly fits your playstyle.
About
Forgero is a mod all about creating, customizing and upgrading your gear. The goal of this mod is to provide the player with as many options for tinkering with your own tools as possible, and to provide yet another reason for exploring Minecraft's world, in search of new upgrades. This mod takes a lot of inspiration from Tinker's construct, and other tools creation mods like Smithee. This is not a copy of these mods, as it tries to stay more in line with vanilla and put its own spin on the process of crafting and upgrading your equipment.
Key features
- Almost every material in the game can be used to craft part for your tools (but some are better suited than others)
- Unique schematics will enhance the look, attributes and functionality of your tools
- Vanilla friendly, this mod uses Minecraft's own textures to generate palettes for materials, and aims to fit the vanilla look and feel
- Gems can further enhance tools and weapons through an expansive upgrade path
- Supports for vanilla enchanting
- All materials, schematics and gems can be entirely customized and expanded though configuration files
- Adding compatibility with a mod of your choice is done easily with JSON
