Features in this mod

Spoiler

Amethyst tools/ore

This mod adds a new use to amethyst by giving it a use in tools although not the strongest, they are sharp and reliable. Not only that, we also made it into an ore, so you can find it in more places than geodes, but the downside to mining it from the ore and not the geode is that it comes out unpolished, Unpolished Amethyst Shard, but can be polished using a stone cutter.

Craftable Trident

This mod makes it so you can craft a Trident with 2 Prismarine Rods and 3 Quartz.

Better Rotten Flesh

This mod adds new versions of Rotten Flesh to make it a viable food source. By placing Rotten Flesh on a campfire, it will become Raw Flesh, and you can then cook it in a smoker, furnace, or just back on the campfire to eat it cooked.

Craftable Upgrade Templates

This mod makes it so you can craft Upgrade Templates, although not useless, I thought it would be a nice edition to the mod, also adding a new glue-like substance called Sculk Goo.

Reinforced Tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Useful Items server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong neoforge 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Useful Items compatible with neoforge?

Useful Items officially supports neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Useful Items – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Useful Items 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.
