Description

For years, gold armor and tools have been looked down upon and never used due to their poor durability and stats. However, it is now gold's time to shine! Better Gold Stuff (bgs) is a mod that gives gold equipment their rightful place! Here are some of the changes:

Tools --> Buffed durability from 33 to 618
Tools --> Buffed damage to be 0.5 less than diamond
Tools and Sword --> Nerfed mining speed to be 7 (iron is 6, diamond is 8)

Armor --> Durability tripled on each piece
Armor --> Full set buffed to 8 armor bars (from 5.5), 0.5 more than iron

Now, gold armor can be a perfect way to transition from iron to diamond gear and will actually serve a purpose
