Power Upgrade

An addon for Dungeon Difficulty that allows you to upgrade any piece of equipment with new components.

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

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 · NeoForge
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.

Upgrade your gear like never before!

Dungeon Difficulty features a unique equipment upgrade system, but it is limited to gear obtained through its own loot system.

This addon removes that restriction by introducing Power Upgrades, special upgrade components that can be found in loot chests or dropped by hostile mobs. Once obtained, they can be applied to any piece of equipment using a Smithing Table.

Whether you're using vanilla gear or equipment from other mods, you can now benefit from Dungeon Difficulty's upgrade system without being restricted to its custom loot.
