Crying Tools
Crying Tools, by ThomasDarkson, adds tools, armor, ores and an enchantment built around Crying Obsidian and the Crying Ore that generates in the Nether and the Overworld.
What it does
Crying Tools builds on Crying Obsidian, adding 32 tools, 15 items, 9 blocks, 4 sets of trimmable armor, 3 entities (one of them a boss), 1 enchantment and 8 advancements. Mining it with a Silk Touch pickaxe drops the block itself, and smelting it yields Crying Ingots.
Crafting starts from Crying Residue, which comes from mined Crying Ore and is used to make Crying Ingots. The ingot is the material for the new tools and armor. Hard Crying Obsidian, a block that cries four times more than regular Crying Obsidian, is used to upgrade netherite tools into Crying ones, which can summon the Crier. Crying Residue also brews the Bane of Criers potion. The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric and is published for Fabric and Quilt across 9 release versions, 1.21.3 – 1.21.11, under the Apache License 2.0.
