FabricQuiltClient and serverCustom license1.21.1 – 1.21.4

What it does

Players craft tools at a forge-style workflow where the result of crafting determines the quality tier of the item. Higher quality tools deal more damage and last longer before breaking. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt for game versions 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, and it requires Cardinal Components API and Fabric API.

Key features

  1. Quality-based crafting

    The quality of a crafted tool depends on the crafting process, so two tools of the same type can differ.

  2. Damage scaled by quality

    Tools with higher quality deal more damage than lower quality ones of the same kind.

  3. Durability scaled by quality

    Higher quality tools also last longer, extending how long a player can use them before repairs.
