About this Mod
Sophie's Alloys is designed to revamp how tool progression operates within vanilla Minecraft. Bountiful amounts of new materials can be found within the Overworld, Nether, and even the End to craft your tools and armors, incentivising mixing and matching those materials to create better sets of equipment to aid on your adventures. Perhaps one may wish to use Mithril Boots over Diamond Boots, but a Diamond Helmet over a Mithril one?
This mod also heavily relies on Create and improves upon the automation and resource generation systems that Create provides. This mod is designed for modpacks in mind and has massive out of box support for mods via excessive data driven interactions and tagging. If this mod is to be used in modpacks, please look at the license contained within the mod's .jar.
I heavily recommend using a recipe viewer mod such as REI or JEI until I properly set up recipe advancements and the GitHub wiki. This will help a lot with figuring out how to upgrade your tools.
This mod is currently in 1.21.1 (Neoforge) beta development.
