by Gamingb3ast

What it does

Buffs are attached to equipment at the moment of crafting. Tools, armor and weapons can gain bonuses such as increased damage, extra durability, a larger reach or a chance to make mobs flee. Crafting while holding Shift skips the buff, which lets a player make plain gear on purpose. Crafting too many items without buffs can drain health and may end in death, so the mod sets a limit on how much plain crafting a player can do.

The reforging anvil is a separate block for players who want to replace a buff they did not get. Reforging costs experience, and the anvil works on items that already carry buffs. The config file holds a blacklist and a whitelist that control which items receive buffs, so server owners can keep the feature away from some items or limit it to others. The mod is based on the original Buffed Tools mod, expanded for use in a modpack.

The mod is published for Forge 1.7.10 only. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, and public links to the source code and the issue tracker are available.

Key features

  1. Random buffs on crafting

    Tools, armor and weapons receive buffs when they are crafted, so each item can differ from the next.

  2. Reforging anvil

    A dedicated anvil reforges buffed items for a cost in experience, replacing their current bonuses.

  3. Shift to craft plain gear

    Holding Shift during crafting produces items without buffs, at the risk of health loss if overused.

  4. Config blacklist and whitelist

    The config file lists which items may or may not receive buffs, so server owners can tune the feature.

  5. Modded tool support

    Modded tools can be included in the buff system through the config, so they are not limited to vanilla equipment.
