Fredo's Vanilla Items
by YoungFredo
Fredo's Vanilla Items adds vanilla-style ores, gear, food and armor sets for NeoForge, with recipes that keep the look of the base game.
What it does
The mod adds ores, gear and food that follow the vanilla game closely. Crafting recipes for the enchanted golden apple and vanilla horse armors are included, and the copper armor is ported back from newer vanilla versions with the same recipes and attributes.
Two extra armor sets, emerald and ruby, use recipes matching the other vanilla armor. The emerald set is slightly stronger than iron and the ruby set slightly stronger than emerald. Enderite armor is made by upgrading existing netherite armor at a smithing table with an upgrade template, and it is stronger than netherite.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 0.7.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Vanilla-style progression
