Dirt Armor and Tools
by Charlie214
Dirt Armor and Tools adds armor, tools and a bow made from dirt, plus a dirt ingot made by smelting dirt blocks.
What it does
Smelting dirt blocks yields dirt ingots, which are the base material for the crafting recipes the mod introduces. Players can make armor pieces, tools and a bow from them, giving dirt a use beyond placing blocks. The mod is meant to be used on a vanilla-style world, and its items are added to the standard crafting flow rather than replacing any existing content.
The dirt bow fires dirt-based projectiles as a ranged weapon, so the mod offers another option for combat, including player versus player fights. The author describes the items as overpowered, a reading the catalog does not confirm. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Latest Forge build 2.3.0 targets 1.20.1, and the NeoForge build 2.1.0 is a beta for 1.20.4. The author notes the NeoForge version is discontinued and that Forge 1.20.1 is the only available version going forward.
