Advanced Smithing Plus
This mod adds new ways to upgrade your tools and armor, it also adds Iron, Gold, Diamond, and Netherite variants of other weapons and tools.
I don't know my version or loader
This mod overhauls the progression system for upgrading armor and tools by allowing you to upgrade from leather armor and wooden tools all the way up to Netherite gear. The mod also improves vanilla gold armor and tools to make them better than iron but weaker than diamond, among improving the way you progress in the game.
The durability for the Bows, Crossbows, Fishing Rods, Shields, and Tridents(WIP):
Iron - X2 Durability
Gold - X3 Durability
Diamond - X4 Durability
Netherite - X5 Durability
This mod is going to be the main mod requirement for future mods I have planned, so stay tuned for that.
One thing to note, I tried my best to make the bows, crossbows, and fishing rods have pulling and casting animations, but I just couldn't figure out how to get it to work, I also tried to make tridents but I couldn't get those to work as intended either, like it doesn't use the model of the trident when it is thrown, so on my patreon, I have a link to download the workspace for the mod if anybody can get those things to work, I will pay anyone $10 if you can get it to work properly, I would appreciate it a lot.
Also, you might need to have Curios API and Geckolib for the 1.20.1 version of the mod for it to work, because I tried to follow the tutorial on YouTube on how to make the bows animated, I'm not sure if it is because I didn't make custom arrows or what, but it only worked in the workspace for the tutorial itself, but not for me for some reason, so if anyone can figure out why it isn't working, I would gladly appreciate the help.
Otherwise, I hope you enjoy this mod.
