Gardon's Minerals Pack
by Gardon
Gardon's Minerals Pack adds five new ore resources to a NeoForge world, each with its own tier, colour and tool and armour upgrades for players to craft.
What it does
The pack introduces five mineral types that fill the gap between iron and diamond. Each one is ranked in a progression: the first and weakest sits at the level of iron tools, and the two that follow rise toward diamond, with netherite as the last and strongest tier. The materials differ in colour, attack power, durability and block mining speed, so a player can pick a tool that suits the task at hand.
Armour can be upgraded with the newly added raw materials at a crafting table. The gold upgrade causes hostile mobs to be briefly immobilised when they are struck, and the diamond upgrade regenerates the wearer's health, each with a set chance to trigger. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, with 1.0 as the latest file. The author plans to add more resources in future updates.
