About this Mod
A Minecraft mod which adds Netherite Nuggets for repairing Netherite gear.
📖 About
Ever had the feeling that spending Netherite Ingots on repairs for Netherite Tools or Armor is just too expensive? Here's your solution! This is a very simple mod which adds a single new item: the Netherite Nugget. These Nuggets replace Ingots in Anvils as the repair item for Netherite gear.
As you've guessed, crafting recipes are:
- 1 Netherite Ingot => 9 Netherite Nuggets
- 9 Netherite Nuggets => 1 Netherite Ingot
Yes... Go ahead and throw them into the fire... They won't burn.
New feature: Tired of those Piglin Brutes being tough to kill and unrewarding to loot? This mod also gives Piglin Brutes a 50% chance to drop a single Netherite Nugget on death. The chance is changeable with a Config in your /config/ folder, from 0% to 100%. Feature is not available on 1.16.1 (for obvious reasons).
