Crimson Tools & Blocks
by lyonbass10
Crimson Tools & Blocks adds a Crimson Ore material found deep underground, along with a full set of tools, armor and weapons crafted from it.
What it does
Crimson Ore is found deep underground and is smelted into Crimson, which then becomes the material for a full range of tools, armor and weapons. Crimson gear is described as stronger than Netherite, with high durability and efficiency, so it suits players in the later stages of a survival world who want to take on bosses and dungeons. The mod also adds many blocks and armor pieces alongside the tools.
The set uses a sleek red look, with bold colors instead of dark or scary elements, so it works as an upgrade path for players who enjoy progression and a polished style. Crimson Tools & Blocks is a Fabric mod for 1.20.6 and earlier builds, and it can be installed on a client, on a server, or on both. Neither side needs it, so players on a vanilla server can still join with it installed locally.
The mod is published for Fabric only, across seven release versions 1.20 – 1.20.6, and the latest file is 1.9.0 for 1.20.6. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
