About this Mod
Dependencies
This is my first mod so please leave suggestions and recommendations as i would love to implement more into my mod!
Harder Armours
- All Armour types now require their leather variants inside one of the free slots in order to craft
- (can be changed in the config if you just want the Harder Netherite instead of both)

Harder Netherite
- Netherite Armour and Tools now require Enriched Netherite Ingots with the Smithing Template to forge
- (can be changed in the config if you just want the Harder Armours instead of both)

- In order to get Enriched Netherite Ingots you must now put "Clump of Netherite Scrap"(Renamed Netherite Ingots) into a Blast Furnace to get "Raw Netherite" which is then used in the crafting for Enriched Netherite Ingots
Enriched Netherite
- Enriched Netherite also comes in a Block for which can be used for beacons if you so wished (I dont actually know why you would want to)
Enriched Netherite Ingot Recipe

Enriched Netherite Block

- It can also be used for the payment item (at the moment i dont know how to add it to the gui)

Netherite Scrap Block
- added a new Netherite Scrap Block to Harder Netherite which can be used as a Beacon Base (not beacon payment item)

Trimmed Netherite
- Added a new Cracked Trim Armour set which can be toggled in the config
- The only way to get this item is to have the config enabled and it automatically applies when you craft the Netherite Armour (I can add a working Smithing Template to this if requested)
