Item Upgrader Mod (1.19.2) – Special Upgrades to Your Items

Item Upgrader Mod is a Minecraft mod that adds upgrades for items, complementing enchantments and providing more use to the smithing table. These can be applied in the smithing table by combining items with other items. Be warned, however. The item you use to upgrade it will be consumed forever. You also cannot apply multiple upgrades to a single item. You must choose one. You can, of course, have multiple items with different upgrades, but they will not stack on a single item. Trying to upgrade an item with one already applied will work, but it will overwrite the previous upgrade. Just Enough Items is highly recommended for use with this mod, as Upgrade recipes have built in compatibility for browsing in JEI.
