DFN: Resin Equipment
by DFN
DFN: Resin Equipment adds a set of resin tools, a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe, that players can craft from resin.
What it does
Resin tools are craftable with the resin material and slot into the usual early progression. Their stats are set so they feel like a small step above gold tools and slightly better than iron, filling a mid-game gap without replacing vanilla gear. Durability is steady, with 74 uses per tool, and the crafting recipes are simple.
The mod is meant for players who want a clean extension of vanilla progression rather than new mechanics or gimmicks, and it uses resin the way the base game uses other materials. Because the mod runs on client and server, the server and every player need it installed. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.21.4 and 1.21.8, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Full resin tool set
A sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe are all craftable from resin, giving one complete toolkit.
Balanced stats
Resin tools sit slightly above gold and a little below or near iron, so they serve as a middle step.
Reliable durability
Each resin tool lasts 74 uses, a steady figure that keeps them practical through mid-game.
Crafting from resin
Recipes use resin like a standard material, so the tools fit into existing crafting habits without new steps.

How it compares
Resin Brick Recipe covers a different crafting path and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21.4 – 26.3, but it is a server-side mod under All rights reserved. Functional Fletching is an MIT-licensed server-side option for 1.21 – 26.2 that also works across four loaders, while DFN: Resin Equipment is client and server with no loader beyond Fabric and NeoForge.
