extra ores and gear
Extra Ores and Gear adds a rarer, costlier upgrade path: a new Varanium material that replaces netherite in gear and tools.
What it does
Varanium is a new material for equipment on Forge 1.20.1. Raw varanium is crafted from four varanium, four netherite and a diamond, then smelted into a varanium ingot. Netherite gear and tools convert to varanium ones at a smithing table, using one varanium ingot and one diamond per piece. Finding netherite is made harder, and a novice librarian sells the ore for about 30 emeralds and one netherite ingot. Environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files target 1.20.1 only, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source.
