Lapis Tools
Lapis Tools adds a set of tools and weapons made from lapis lazuli for players who want an enchanting-focused early game on Fabric.
What it does
The mod adds a lapis tool set built around a high enchantability value of 25, which controls how often the enchanting table offers stronger enchantments when a lapis tool is used. Higher enchantability gives a better chance of strong enchantments being offered. Items use a recipe built from lapis lazuli, sticks and other materials, and they carry the older texture style.
Lapis tools also give a knockback resistance bonus, so the lapis items sit between wooden and iron gear in their general use. The mod is published for Fabric only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. Builds exist for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is licensed All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
High enchantability tools
Lapis tools have an enchantability of 25, so enchanting them draws from stronger enchantments more often.
Knockback resistance
The lapis tool set adds a knockback resistance bonus that reduces how far mobs push the player back.
Lapis lazuli recipes
Tools are crafted from lapis lazuli combined with sticks, using recipes of two, three and one lapis lazuli pieces.
Older texture style
The items keep the older texture style, so they blend with classic vanilla tool sprites.
