Between Tools
by MineMod274
Between Tools adds tiered tools, armor and a set of ore-based materials, sitting between the existing tiers of vanilla progression.
What it does
Between Tools adds 30 new tools and 35 new crafting recipes, together with a new armor set. The materials follow the vanilla tier order, so each pack and set sits between two existing tiers: a Dirt Pack goes between hand and wooden, a Log Pack between wooden and stone, and a Copper Pack between stone and iron. A Lapis Pack, an Emerald Pack and a Platinum Pack continue the same pattern up to netherite.
The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and its builds cover 1.20 – 26.2 across 23 release versions, with snapshot builds also published. Armor differs by version: newer game versions receive the full armor set, while older versions do not. The license is MIT License, and the code is not open source in the public sense of a shared repository, so the license text is the only grant.
