Gold Star Ultra
by ByTT
Gold Star Ultra is a Forge equipment and crafting mod by ByTT, with recipes that use diamonds, lapis lazuli and a red crystal.
What it does
The mod adds crafting recipes for items such as the Nezer item, Dragon Egg and Dragon Head, plus elite items. According to the author, the recipes mainly need diamonds rather than rarer materials, and the author describes the mod as a balance change for players who find other crafting paths slow. The author also states that a red crystal is needed, which is the step that studies the mod's content.
The author notes that the mod is meant to be played alongside IC2 (Industrial Craft 2) and Draconic Evolution. The text is Russian only, and the author lists JEI as an addition alongside the mod. The mod is published for Forge across two game versions, 1.12.2 and 1.16.5, with 1.0.0 for 1.16.5 as the latest file, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Who it’s for: The mod is aimed at players who already use IC2 or Draconic Evolution and want a crafting route to dragon items, and at server owners running the same mod set for both sides.
How it compares
Star Update is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 with client and server environment and All rights reserved license, so it covers the same version as Gold Star Ultra. Rob's Craftable XP is server-side only under the MIT License and spans 1.16 – 26.2 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so it reaches far more loaders and versions.

What the author says
This mod will make the game much easier. It will add such crafts as: Nezer Star, Dragon Egg, Dragon Head, Elites, etc. Especially if you play with mods such as: IC2(Industrial Craft 2), Draconic Evolution, etc. Why my mod? There is a balance in my mod! That is, if you need lapis lazuli, then not 1 Diamond = 64 Lapis…
