Accelerite
Accelerite is a Fabric equipment mod for 1.20.1 that adds an alternate upgrade material, crafted from crying obsidian, with tools, weapons and armor that use it.
What it does
Accelerite gives players a second upgrade path beside netherite. The first ingot is made from crying obsidian, and later ingots come from amethyst and iron nuggets, shown step by step in the author's images. Accelerite ingots then go into claymores, sabers and tools, which dig and attack at different rates than their diamond and netherite counterparts.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, with 2.1.0 as the latest build, released under the MIT License. The source is not open source.
Key features
Accelerite ingot crafting
The ingot is smelted through a chain of steps that starts with crying obsidian, then adds amethyst and iron nuggets.
Upgradable claymore and saber
Blaze rods and Accelerite ingots make the base weapons, and two upgrades raise attack damage and attack range.
Accelerite armor set
The armor gives knockback resistance like netherite, with toughness close to iron, and a full set worn grants speed II.
Faster tools with less damage
Accelerite tools dig faster and attack faster than diamond or netherite, but deal less damage per hit.

Use cases
Players seeking a netherite alternative
Survival players who want gear between diamond and netherite can use Accelerite as an upgrade material without the netherite cost.
Who it’s for: Survival players on Fabric 1.20.1 who want a non-netherite upgrade path and armor with speed. Server owners running Fabric 1.20.1 need it installed on the server too.
How it compares
Netherite Ingot Armor is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds netherite-style armor. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Obsidian Equipment Reworked is open source under the MIT License, runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, and covers obsidian gear rather than an upgrade ingot. Both alternatives are client and server, as is Accelerite.
