About this Mod

Smithing Tweaks

This mod will allow you to progressively upgrade any Vanilla Tools and Armor using the smithing Table.

Note: Older Versions of the Mod (Before MC 1.20.1 work different and have less stuff to upgrade)

(If applicable) The Upgrade Progress works like followed:

Wood -> Stone -> Iron -> Gold -> Diamond

Armor Progress practically works the same:

Leather -> Chainmail -> Iron -> Gold -> Diamond

Note: Upgrading Leather to Chainmail Armor just requires an Iron Nugget, not a full Ingot

Every Upgrade requires a new Upgrade Template item, which is easily crafted using the following recipe:

Here's a simple Example of how to upgrade stuff:

Here's some more info in case you're wondering:

What happens if I have Enchantments on my Stuff and want to Upgrade?

Just like the Vanilla Netherrite Upgrading, Enchantments stay on your Tools and Armor, so you don't need to worry about that.

I there a way to disable some recipes or change them up a bit?

As of right now, sadly there isn't. If you know what you're doing, you could go into the Mods JAR file and change or delete the existing recipes. Maybe I will add some configs in the future for you to customize it the way you want to.

Can I use this in my Project (e.g Modpack)?

You are free to do whatever you want with the mod!
