modIcon

is a mod that revamps the tool and armor progression system in Minecraft using upgrade templates at the Smithing Table. Instead of crafting each tier separately, you can now upgrade your gear from lower tiers to higher tiers while preserving your hard-earned enchantments.

Features

Upgrade Template System

  • 6 New Templates - Introduces Stone, Copper, Iron, Chainmail, Gold, and Diamond Upgrade Smithing Templates.
  • Tool Progression - Seamlessly upgrade tools in the Smithing Table: Wood → Stone → Iron → Gold → Diamond.

Upgrade

  • Armor Progression - Upgrade your armor tier by tier: Leather → Chainmail → Iron → Gold → Diamond.
  • Preserve Enchantments - Upgrading your gear keeps all previously applied enchantments intact.

Template Duplication

  • Crafting Recipes - All upgrade templates can be duplicated in a crafting table (Pattern: 8 materials surrounding 1 template to produce 2 templates).
  • Progression Costs - Duplication uses materials from the previous tier (e.g., duplicating a Diamond Template requires 7 gold ingots and 1 gold block, while a Stone Template requires 7 sticks and 1 cobblestone).

Enchantment Compatibility

  • Unlocked Combinations - The mod allows combining enchantments that are normally mutually exclusive.
  • Ultimate Armor - All protection types (Protection, Fire Protection, Blast Protection, Projectile Protection) can now be applied to the exact same armor piece.
  • Perfect Bows - Bows and crossbows can now have both Infinity and Mending enchantments simultaneously.

Loot Integration

  • World Generation - Upgrade templates can be found naturally as loot in Buried Treasure chests, Simple Dungeon chests, and Stronghold corridor chests.

  • Rarity Scaling - Drop weights scale with tier: Stone/Copper (Common), Iron/Chainmail (Uncommon), Gold (Rare), and Diamond (Very Rare).

Dependencies:

  • Fabric API (required)

Server-Side & Client-Side - Requires installation on both the server and the client, as it introduces new custom items (the templates) and modifies core crafting and enchantment mechanics.
