Arda's Advanced Items
by Ixra
Arda's Advanced Items adds diamond and netherite tools, armor and blocks for players who want gear beyond vanilla limits in late-game survival.
What it does
Advanced Diamond tools and weapons last twice as long as standard diamond items, and a complete suit of Advanced Diamond armor raises protection above vanilla diamond gear. Each Advanced Netherite piece is meant to exceed the standard netherite version, so the gear suits long, hard survival runs.
The mod adds a smithing system: the Advanced Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template is found and crafted to start the transformation, and it is required to craft Advanced Netherite gear. Blocks include a high-tier Advanced Diamond storage block and the Advanced Netherite Ingot Block, which is among the densest reinforced blocks in the game.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is needed on client and server, so the server and every player must install it. It is published only for NeoForge, in a single build, 1.1, and is not open source: it is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Fredo's Vanilla Items is a NeoForge mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1, open source under the MIT License, and is needed on client and server. Tool Trims Concept is also NeoForge for 1.21.1 and needs client and server, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Blank Smithing Template is open source under the MIT License on NeoForge, but targets 1.21.11, so it does not match this mod's version.
