Die Schmiedewerkstatt
by ThatGumGuy
Die Schmiedewerkstatt, a NeoForge equipment mod for 1.21.4, adds weapons, tools, armor and ranged weapons in several material tiers, each with its own playstyle.
What it does
The mod adds weapon, tool and armor sets that follow different playstyles and known weapon classes. Swords trade speed for less damage, while axes hit slower and harder. Ranged weapons include bows and crossbows that hit hard at long range. Tools break less often and can simplify gathering materials and crafting objects. Several recipes are changed, and a few quality-of-life and difficulty tweaks are included.
The content continues the work of the archived mod Beyond Horizon, with the aim of expanding items and tools for different purposes, such as breaking more blocks or climbing. Extra blocks and other objects are part of the goal as well. Better Combat is an optional dependency and is not required to play with the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.4 with 5.4.0 as the latest beta file. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Material tiers with distinct trade-offs
Copper gear is weaker but lasts longer than iron, and rose-gold gear has high enchantability with a mining level equal to iron.
Steel gear near diamond
Steel gear matches diamond tools and Nether tiers in strength, with 1,128 durability instead of diamond's 1,561.
Retextured diamond items
Diamond tools, weapons, armor and the spyglass receive new textures, so they look different from vanilla.
Blacksmith naming
The German title Die Schmiedewerkstatt is pronounced die shmeedeverkstaht and means Blacksmith's Workshop.

How it compares
Obsidian's Tools is NeoForge only, open source is not claimed, and it is published for 1.21.4 under All rights reserved. Copper Reinforcements is also NeoForge for 1.21.4 with a client and server environment and All rights reserved. Just-In Blacksmith is NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is client-side only, so players can join a server without installing it.

What the author says
This mod is mostly a continuation of my now-defunct and archived mod of Beyond the Horizon. The goal, just like in Beyond the Horizon, is to expand your options for items, tools, etc. I wanna add more types of tools for different purposes (like breaking more blocks, climbing more blocks, things like that). First off…
