Essentia Reforged
by Rodas_
Essentia Reforged expands underground adventures with ores, materials, a structure with a new mob, and tools and weapons crafted from them.
What it does
A new ore yields refined materials that serve for crafting custom weapons. A new world structure houses a new mob, so exploring deeper caves gives a reason to go further underground. Stronger Netherite can be turned into top-tier gear, and the mod's magical items serve as building blocks for further crafting.
An Upgrade Station opens a separate upgrade system, and upgraded tools gain extra effects. New crafting recipes support the system. The Auralith Update adds new progression mechanics and world content on top of the original features.
The mod is published for NeoForge only. Its files cover 1.21.4 and 1.21.8, with 1.2.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. Essentia Reforged is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed.
