Gear Up
Overhauls the tool and armor progression system by rebalancing durability and core stats, creating a more consistent and engaging gameplay experience.
About this Mod
Gameplay Changes:
- One of the main goals of this pack is to integrate copper into the base progression. This is achieved by making the stone pickaxe unable to mine iron, requiring a copper pickaxe instead. Additionally, copper tools can now mine redstone.
- On the other hand this pack reworks gold to become a viable alternative by enhancing its stats to rival or exceed copper, while retaining its unique advantages.
Durability Changes:
As the main feature of this pack, the following table shows the new durability values for each tier, along with their changes compared to vanilla.

Additional Notes:
- Due to a known issue, items obtained in Creative mode will not have their properties modified. Switch to Survival mode and update your inventory to apply the changes.
- Thanks to how the datapack works, any item obtained by a player is automatically updated, even if the pack is installed after the world is created.
