Basically: Basics
Basically: Basics is a Fabric and NeoForge mod by BasicallyProd that adds blue-themed items, armor, tools and recipes.
What it does
Players get a set of blue-themed content, including armor, tools, a Crystal Cave and a Bleu Crafting Table, along with recipes that use them. Its brewing stand takes a Nether Star and Dragon Breath as ingredients. The mod was created with MCreator and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, with 2.0.0 as the latest file, and the code is not open source; all rights are reserved.
