Forgero
Forgero lets players build tools from parts, with each tool assembled from materials and schematics found in the world.
What it does
Tools in Forgero are constructed from many different parts, and the parts are procedurally generated from the materials and schematics a player has found. Schematics also shape a tool's look, attributes and functionality, and gems add a further upgrade path for tools and weapons. Vanilla textures are used to generate the palettes for the materials, so the results keep a vanilla look and feel.
The core of the mod is data driven, so materials, schematics and gems can be changed or extended through configuration files, and compatibility with other mods is added with JSON. Forgero supports vanilla enchanting. It runs on Fabric and Quilt and requires Fabric API. Ad Astra is among the optional dependencies that add content to the system. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Forgero is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files cover 1.18.2 – 1.20.4 across ten release versions, and snapshot builds are published.
