Immersive Bedrock
With Immersive Bedrock, players can break bedrock using netherite pickaxes and craft new tools from the resulting shards.
What it does
Bedrock normally cannot be broken, and this Forge mod makes it mineable with vanilla tools once a suitable tool level is reached. The required tool level is set in the configuration file. Mining speed is affected by enchantments, and some effects slow the process down.
Crafting uses the shards from broken bedrock, and a netherite ingot combined with shards produces a bedrock ingot. The mod adds Bedrock Reinforced Shields and a Bedrock Armor Set alongside a new set of tools that are sharper and more durable but accept fewer enchantments. Netherite Smithing Templates can upgrade netherite tools at a Smithing Table, and tools can also be crafted directly for players who have not found the templates yet.
The mod has zero dependencies, is described by its author as compatible with many other mods, and includes modpack integration options in its configuration file. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.2 as the latest file, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and open source.

How it compares
Bedrock Enhancement is a Forge option for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, released under the MIT License and open source, with the same client and server environment. Reinforced Netherite covers only 1.20.1, is closed source under All rights reserved, and also runs on client and server. Bedrock Redux is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later for 1.20 – 1.20.4, and only the server needs it while clients stay optional.
