Jaam's Shinerite
by jaamleeto
Jaam's Shinerite adds a glowing, dyeable ore to Forge worlds for 1.20.1, with the tools, weapons, armor and blocks crafted from it.
What it does
Shinerite generates as a new ore in the world and is used to craft a full set of tools, weapons, armor and decorative blocks. The ore reacts to its surroundings, so its glow and behavior can change depending on other mechanics in play. Players can dye, bleach and wax items made from it, and imbue them with potion effects.
The mod adds new enchantments and advancements tied to the ore, and its potion, washing and dyeing mechanics are meant to stay close to vanilla behavior. The content is laid out for datapack customization, and the configuration offers many options. Jaam's Weaponry is an optional dependency that adds dedicated compatibility with the mod. The mod is Forge only and published for 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Super_Items works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, but it is client-side only, so servers do not need it.
