Ad Astra :Tools
by IsFlory
Ad Astra: Tools is an add-on for the Ad Astra space mod, adding armor sets, tools and a few crafting routes built from Desh, Ostrum, Calorite, Desherite and Steel.
What it does
Ad Astra: Tools requires Ad Astra and adds tool and armor sets made from the space materials that Ad Astra introduces. Four armor sets are included: Desh, Ostrum, Calorite and Desherite. Matching tool sets exist for Desh, Ostrum, Calorite and Steel, so a player can equip and use each material from the same mod.
Centaur tools are the one set that uses a smelted Centaur ingot, which is crafted into new tools. Their stats are placed between iron and diamond tools, and they are fire resistant. Some textures were credited to bupka. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across two release versions, 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, with the MIT License applied and the code not open source. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it.

How it compares
Ad Astra: Ashes of Luyten is a Fabric and Forge add-on for 1.20.1, with the same client and server environment and the MIT License, but it is not open source. Tinkers' Ad astra is Forge-only for 1.20.1, also client and server and MIT licensed. Ad Astra: Star is Forge-only for 1.20.1 and shares that environment and license too. This mod covers Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 and 1.20.4 instead.

❗Centaur can be found in overworld and smelted to centaur ingot, with centaur ingot you can craft new tools. Centaur tools are a something between iron and diamond tools but it have a good fire resistant.
