Upgradable Tools!
This mod adds more Smithing Templates, akin to the one that upgrades diamond to netherite, so you never have to discard your beloved tools.
Recipes:
- Wooden Upgrade - 7 dirt and 1 plank of any wood.
- Leather Upgrade - 7 dirt and 1 leather.
- Stone Upgrade - 7 planks of any wood and 1 cobblestone.
- Chain Upgrade - 7 leather and 1 chain.
- Gold "Upgrade" - 7 planks of any wood and 1 gold ingot.
- Iron Upgrade - 7 gold nuggets OR 7 cobblestone and 1 iron ingot.
- Diamond Upgrade - 7 iron ingots and 1 diamond.
- Fiery Upgrade - 7 blaze powder and 1 fiery ingot.
How to use:
To apply a specific upgrade, you will need the template and 1 of the desired material. For example, to upgrade from iron to diamond, you would need 1 diamond template, 1 diamond and your iron gear.
Random facts:
- You can upgrade any armour or tools, even modded, into any of the available upgrades - even downgrading if you so wish.
- This mod is very useful when you loot any golden equipment, since gold naturally has a high enchantability, so you will likely have better enchantments after upgrading it.
- We actually have support for Spartan Weaponry! Any tool from Spartan can be upgraded into any of the available templates.
- If you're insane, you can use a Fiery Upgrade to convert 1 steak to 1 hydra chop.
