No Netherite Upgrades

by moonwirer · on Modrinth

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Mod loader Fabric1 build
Mod loader Forge1 build

Minecraft version

Minecraft 1.20–1.21.1Newest

Minecraft 1.20.5–1.21Newest

⬇ Download for 1.20–1.21.1 · Fabric ⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.21 · Forge

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Appeal

Sick of finding bastions to just upgrade your tools to Netherite? This mod removes that need, making Netherite Upgrades completely obsolete.

All recipes that previously utilised this recipe have been changed to remove the Smithing Template

What changes

The Smithing Template recipes for:

Netherite Swords
Netherite Pickaxes
Netherite Axes
Netherite Shovels
Netherite Hoes
Netherite Helmets
Netherite Chestplates
Netherite Leggings
Netherite Boots All you need is a Netherite Ingot and the Diamond version of the tool/armor.

Note

As of v1.1.1, I am going to be dropping Forge support. Do not ask for any Forge ports.
