Gold Item Expansion
by Saverio08
Gold Item Expansion adds golden-themed items, including a compressed gold block, an enchanted golden apple, a golden head and a set of potions for players seeking more options in combat and healing.
What it does
The mod groups its additions around gold. Potions come in several tiers: Healing Potion grants Instant Health III, Godly Healing Potion grants Instant Health V, and the God Potion series holds effects at level 5. Some God potions grant positive buffs for the drinker, while others apply negative debuffs to targets, and the Undead God and Arthropod God variants focus on undead and arthropod mobs respectively, with their counterparts aimed at non-undead and non-arthropod entities.
Installation requires Architectury API on every loader and Fabric API on Fabric. Gold Item Expansion runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 14 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.7, and the code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only.
