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)
    Helmet Recipe

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)
    Items the Mod adds
  • 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)

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)
