Alex's Upgrade Package
Alex's Upgrade Package, a Forge world generation mod by BigAlInDaHouse, adds Emerald Alloy, gold emeralds, copper tools and other metal content for 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod is built around a set of metals and alloys. Emerald Alloy and gold emeralds are central to the content, and copper tools, including a knife and shears, sit alongside them. Zinc is added as a decorative metal, and further metals such as osmium, titanium, steel and brass are listed by the author as coming later.
Exotic crystals appear in the content, and sword-like multitools provide special effects when held in the off-hand. The author describes the project as a passion project rather than a large content mod, and states that it was made with MCreator. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it.
The license is Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0, and the project is not open source. Davoleo's Metallurgy is named in the author text as a related mod, and the mod sits in the World generation category with Decoration and Equipment as secondary categories.
