Artificial Netherite Ingot
Artificial Netherite Ingot adds a crafted netherite-style ingot made from ordinary materials, along with tools and armor that use it, for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The mod lets players make an artificial netherite ingot through a multi-step process rather than the ancient debris route. The ingot is completed by baking, and the recipe draws on ores that the author describes as hard to obtain early in a survival world, including deep slate ore and emerald ore. A villager profession called ore trader can supply deep slate ore, which the author notes is otherwise scarce early on.
Tools follow the specifications of diamond tools and can be enhanced with a small amount of the artificial ingot. Armor is arranged in a crafting table shape, gives the same defense as iron armor, and can be upgraded through a smithing template to create Enhanced Artificial Netherite armor. Dyeing the armor black makes it darker. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Forge and NeoForge only, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4, and it is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Harder Netherite is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, client and server, under All rights reserved, so its version range ends before 1.21.4. Itemie: materials and more covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 with the same environment and license. Artificial Lightning Mod is a Forge-only mod for 1.12.2 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, so it does not share this mod's loaders or versions.
