What it does

The mod is a datapack that reworks equipment progression in survival worlds. Items take on reforge effects that boost their stats, and the reforge system is loosely modeled on the Hypixel Skyblock reforge mechanic. Reforges are grouped by item type: 22 for armor, 18 for melee weapons, 13 for tools and 14 for ranged weapons, while 33 of the 54 carry special abilities.

Stat boosters are obtained through crafting recipes and applied to an item in the same way as forging. An item can take several boosts, with a total limit of 10 applied. Some reforges cover more than one equipment type. Server owners can customize the stats of vanilla items, and optional mobs and three new bosses can be enabled, though they are disabled by default. ForgeCraft runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt through its datapack, and it is open source under the MIT License. Files cover 1.21 – 26.3, with the latest build B1.8.3+mod for 26.3 dated 2026-09-13 on the beta channel.
