Activated Netherite
by EnderBoy9217
Activated Netherite changes how the Netherite templates are obtained, so the armor and tools of the Netherite set come through a Nether progression instead of a single trade.
What it does
The mod adds a Nether progression to Netherite gear. The first Netherite template has to be crafted together with a Nether Star and then activated, and further templates are made by duplicating a template that is already activated. The mod changes the vanilla path to the most valuable gear, which the author describes as reachable within a short time on most vanilla servers.
Wither Skeletons are central to the progression: the Wither's dropped Wither Skeleton skulls and armor pieces are the source of the template material, and their drop rate rises with the Looting level, from 2.5% to 15% and by a further 10% instead of 1%. Players are expected to explore a Bastion, then face the Wither's minions in a Nether Fortress before they reach the boss.
Activated Netherite is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. It is published for Fabric only, across 7 release versions, and it requires Fabric API. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.
Key features
Activated templates
A Netherite template is crafted with a Nether Star and activated before it can be used or duplicated.
Duplicated templates
Further templates are made by duplicating a template that has already been activated, so one activation is enough to supply more.
Wither drop rate
Wither Skeletons' skull and armor drop rate rises with the Looting level, reaching 15% in the mod's configuration.
Fortress progression
Templates are tied to exploring a Bastion and fighting Wither Skeletons in a Nether Fortress before the Wither.

What the author says
Obtaining Minecraft's most valuable gear requires minimal effort, with dedicated players achieving this within only 1 or 2 days on most vanilla servers. Many servers have been forced to adopt arbitrary rules of "No Netherite until this date", but there should be a better way to progress without any of these rules, as…
