Description

Allows you to upgrade your tools by tier using less materials! No longer will you need to groan about making a wooden pickaxe. Just turn it into a stone one.

Tools can be upgraded like so: Wood -> Stone/Gold -> Iron -> Diamond -> Netherite (Already In-game)

  • Craft stone tools in a 2x2 grid using a wood tool and the normal amount of stone.
  • Gold tools use a stick, wood tool, and gold ingot at a smithing table.
  • Iron tools use a stick, stone/gold tool, and either an iron ingot or iron tool kit.
    • Swords, shovels, and hoes use an ingot, while pickaxes and axes use an iron tool kit.
  • Diamond tools use a stick, iron tool, and either a diamond or diamond tool kit.
    • Swords, shovels, and hoes use a diamond, while pickaxes and axes use a diamond tool kit.

Armor can be upgraded like so: Leather -> Chainmail/Gold -> Iron -> Diamond -> Netherite (Already In-game)

  • All armors can be upgraded using 2 of their respective material in a smithing table.
    • (Material, then armor, then material.)

This mod literally just adds two items and some recipes. If you want to use this in a modpack, go ahead.
