About this Mod

This mod adds gold armor that piglins are neutral towards you with, but is also strong, unlike actual gold armor. It is slightly stronger than iron armor.

This could be useful for exploring the nether while you're in the early game.

It is made by upgrading iron armor with a gold ingot, and a new upgrade template crafted with simple tuff, clay, and gold nuggets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tuff Gold server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Tuff Gold compatible with forge?

Tuff Gold officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Tuff Gold – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Tuff Gold consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
