Astral Armoury
by Lightning323
Astral Armoury adds Terraria-inspired weapons, armor, shields, potions and enchantments to Minecraft, with copper and cactus gear among the new items.
What it does
The mod brings weapons, armor, potions and enchantments inspired by Terraria. New copper tools and armor were added for 1.21.1, cactus armor is in the set, and shields have been added with higher durability than vanilla shields. Several enchantments and buffs are meant to make weapons stronger.
Soulbound is included as an item behavior. Items marked with it stay with their owner when the player dies. Further weapons and armor are planned to complement mid-game mods, and a Quickdraw and a Vitality feature are listed as future work rather than released content.
Astral Armoury is built for Forge and NeoForge. Three game versions have files: 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1. The newest Forge build is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, a beta release, and the newest NeoForge build is 0.3.0 for 1.21.1. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source.

How it compares
Cataclysm & BetterCombat - Compatibility and Cataclysm: Spellbooks & BetterCombat - Compatibility both cover Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, are licensed as All rights reserved and are not open source. Their environment has the server running them while players can join with or without them. Astral Enchant is a NeoForge-only mod for 1.21.1, needs both sides, and is open source under the MIT License, so it is the closer match for enchantments on NeoForge.
