Fake Netherite

by thecatwithabearcap

Fake Netherite adds a single decorative item to the game, one that looks like Netherite but has none of its strength.

What it does

The mod adds a Fake Netherite item that copies the look of Netherite gear while keeping the weak stats of ordinary material. It runs on client and server, so both sides need the mod for the item to appear and work. Forge is the only loader with files, for Minecraft 1.16.5, and the latest file is on the beta channel.

Key features

  1. Netherite-look item

    A small item that appears the same as Netherite but does not provide its durability or protection.

  2. Weak by design

    The item keeps the low strength of its base material, which is the joke the mod is built around.

  3. Single small addition

    The mod adds one item and nothing else, so it fits into a survival world without changing progression.
