Dragon's Crest
by flurraria
Dragon's Crest adds Dragoncrest gear to Forge 1.20.1, upgrading netherite armor, tools and a sword with a dragonstone smithing template.
What it does
Dragoncrest gear is made by combining a dragonstone smithing template with netherite pieces. The upgrade covers a chestplate, a helmet, boots and leggings, along with a blade, a pickaxe and a hammer. Each upgraded piece takes the place of its netherite original in the same slot, so the progression fits into an existing netherite run.
Obtaining the template needs a good number of dragonstones, which makes the gear a long-term goal rather than a quick craft. The author notes that the bonuses can look strong at first, so a server owner may want to weigh them against the rest of their progression. A shelf that holds five Dragon Tomes adds enchantment power, which the mod ties into its new level content.
Dragon's Crest is published for Forge only, with a single build for 1.20.1, released on 2025-11-22 under All rights reserved. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. No required dependency is listed for Forge.

How it compares
Reinforced Netherite and Final Netherite are both Forge mods for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment, and both are published under All rights reserved, so they are not open source. Simple Nether Star Items is also a Forge 1.20.1 mod that runs on client and server, but it is released under the MIT License. Dragon's Crest focuses on dragonstone-based upgrades, while those three address netherite and nether star items in other ways.
