Better With Gold is a lightweight expansion mod that gives gold the value and utility it always deserved. Instead of being just shiny, now it’s powerful, versatile, and worth collecting.
Craft new gold-based armors, tools, and items with special traits that set them apart from vanilla gear. Whether you're playing solo or adding to a modpack, this mod adds more depth and progression to your Minecraft experience.
