Legendary Forging
by Sygikal
Legendary Forging, a Fabric mod for 1.20.1, lets players reforge their own tools and gear through a Forging Table and a Forgesmith villager.
What it does
The mod adds a Forging Table where tools are crafted and reforged. Reforges are data-driven and resemble the random modifiers of Terraria: they are applied at random to looted, crafted and forged items. Tools themselves are data-driven too, so the set of craftable tools is defined by data files rather than fixed in code.
Forging Hammers are used at the table, and a Forgesmith villager trades for the mod's materials. Mobs drop Forge Tokens, a currency whose dropping mobs are chosen by server owners through a tag, so each pack can decide which creatures yield them. The AdvancedToolMaterial system behind the tools is a separate part of the code that the author plans to split into its own mod.
Installation needs Fzzy Config and UltraLib, both required dependencies. ARRP is bundled inside the mod and needs no separate install. Legendary Forging runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.0+1.20.1 as the latest build from 2025-11-22. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
