Lodestone Update Backport
Backports the new lodestone recipe and features from 1.21.5: Cheaper recipe, new ruined portal loot table, and tweaked advancements.
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.
This project backports the lodestone tweaks from version 1.21.5:
- Cheaper Recipe: Crafting with an iron ingot instead of a netherite ingot.
- Ruined Portal Loot: Ruined portal chests may now contain a lodestone or two.
- Updated advancement: "Country Lode, Take Me Home" now resides in the adventure section.
- Updated Recipe Unlock: The recipe is now unlocked when you obtain iron, not netherite.
