Disable Netherite Upgrading
by snowcube
Disable Netherite Upgrading stops Netherite Upgrade Templates from appearing in loot tables, so Diamond is the highest gear tier a player can reach from loot in a world.
What it does
Netherite Upgrade Templates no longer generate in loot tables, which leaves Diamond as the top gear tier. Netherite Ingots still have uses for everything else in upgrading gear. Other Bastion Chest loot generates as normal. The mod pairs with a separate addition that supplies a Netherite Upgrade Template by another route. It runs on the server, and players join without installing it. Builds cover 1.20 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.

Other loot unchanged
The rest of the Bastion Chest loot tables keep generating as normal.
