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.

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.

For years, gold armor and tools have been looked down upon and never used due to their poor durability and stats. However, it is now gold's time to shine! Better Gold Stuff (bgs) is a mod that gives gold equipment their rightful place! Here are some of the changes:

Tools --> Buffed durability from 33 to 618
Tools --> Buffed damage to be 0.5 less than diamond
Tools and Sword --> Nerfed mining speed to be 7 (iron is 6, diamond is 8)

Armor --> Durability tripled on each piece
Armor --> Full set buffed to 8 armor bars (from 5.5), 0.5 more than iron

Now, gold armor can be a perfect way to transition from iron to diamond gear and will actually serve a purpose

Available on 1.12.2

Only tested on local singleplayer worlds
