Jack's Better Minecraft
by NeonWeeebb
Jack's Better Minecraft is a Forge mod that adds new armor, tools, foods, a biome and a fossil structure to the vanilla game.
What it does
The mod adds gear in tiers that sit between vanilla materials. Emerald armor and tools rank between iron and diamond, and Enderanium armor and tools come from a new ore found on the outer End islands, placing them just below netherite. A Shulker Shell chestplate is crafted from shulker shells and is described as slightly better than netherite.
Food and terrain are also covered. Super Foods are craftable food sources that give a buff depending on what is eaten. A new prehistoric oasis biome, desert-like with fossils scattered above ground, and a beast fossil structure with a colossal skeleton add exploration content. The author notes that more content is planned for future updates.
The mod is published for Forge and for Minecraft 1.19.4 only. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so it works on a client, a server, or both. The license is All rights reserved, and the code is not open source. Public links exist for an issue tracker and a wiki.
