Better Way - Evolver
by M.P.
Better Way - Evolver adds a new villager called Evolver that sells stronger items, loot boxes and other goods to players who explore.
What it does
Evolver is a villager that trades in items meant to push players further into the world, selling stronger gear, emeralds, food and loot boxes in exchange for their currency. The mod aims to reward exploration with interesting rewards rather than handing them out for free. Some items it can sell are broken drops that players otherwise find in chests inside specific structures. The mod is published for NeoForge and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21.1 only, and the latest is 0.8.7 from 2026-09-03 on the beta channel. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
