Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

⬇ Download for 1.20.1⬇ Download for 1.19.4⬇ Download for 1.18.2⬇ Download for 1.17.1⬇ Download for 1.16.5
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.



UNNECESSARY PREAMBLE:

Gold equipment has always had a weird place in Minecraft, especially since enchantability rarely matters. The armor has decent stats and durability, and making Piglins friendly gives it a unique use. However the tools are still a mess, ranging from "niche but potentially useful" to completely worthless. Golden axes, shovels & hoes clear areas very fast (albeit expensively) and while the pickaxe mines fast, it can't harvest most ores. The golden sword is especially bad, with the same attack damage as a wooden sword and barely half of the durability. This mod aims to make the gold tools more usable, while keeping them as a side-grade to the other materials, though it can be configured to however you want.

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION:
By default, the mod changes all gold tools as follows: [all values are configurable]
 • Increased durability of all tools to 117 (from 32)
    • Break at the same rate as gold armor compared to their iron counterparts. Still weaker than stone (131).
 • Increased attack damage of all tools by 1
    • Same damage-per-swing as stone tools, excluding the axe which does slightly less (8 vs 9).
 • Increased attack speed of all tools slightly
    • Gives gold tools a unique niche in combat, scaling well with enchantments like sharpness.
 • Decreased mining speed of all tools to 10 (from 12)
    • Very slight nerf to balance out 365% increase in durability. Still faster than netherite (9).
 • Increased harvest power of gold pickaxe to 2 (from 0)
    • Can now mine anything an iron pickaxe can, including gold ore.
