Ancient Forkways

Two upgrade routes share a common netherite starting point, so a player chooses which kind of protection to build toward. Each armour set keeps its own strengths, and neither path makes the other obsolete. The mod adds a harder step above the usual armour packs for players who want a sharper challenge.

Both Forge and NeoForge builds are published, covering 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 with 6 release versions. Only the client and the server need the mod in the sense that both must run it, and the code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0, which means the mod is not open source.
