About this Mod
This mod's idea came from a typo a friend made a long time ago. Back then we jokingly planned to make it a minecraft mod. Years later, I've started actually creating the mod to start learning minecraft modding.
The mod adds:

- can be crafted into an ingot as shown in the gallery
Helgerite ingot
- can be used to craft into a set of armor or a block
Helgerite armor set
- an armor tier between iron and diamond
Helgerite Horse Armor
- craftable with Helgerite Ingots
Helg Horse Armor
- an uncraftable item that can be found where other Horse Armor generates
Helgerite Block
- requires a diamond shovel to be mined
Helg ore
- can be found around sunflowers and needs an iron shovel to be mined
Helgerite entity
- a flying entity which spawns in swamps
- can be temped by holding a Helg block

Server lagging with Helg – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Helg consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
