Level Z - Better Nether

by Findict

Level Z - Better Nether adds level requirements to Better Nether blocks, weapons and armor through the LevelZ progression system.

FabricClient and serverMIT License1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Gear and blocks from the Better Nether content are gated behind character levels, so items fit into a LevelZ progression rather than being available from the start. A player who has not reached the required level cannot use the matching item, which keeps Nether equipment in step with the rest of a leveled playthrough. The mod requires BetterNether and LevelZ, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 for Fabric, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Level requirements on Nether gear

    Better Nether weapons and armor carry level requirements that match the LevelZ progression curve.

  2. Level-gated Nether blocks

    Many Better Nether blocks are tied to a player level, so building with them waits until progress allows it.

  3. Progression-friendly modpacks

    The level checks stop players from skipping ahead in RPG modpacks, where gear is meant to arrive in order.

How it compares

Full comparison

Skill Point Items adds skill-point gating for items, requires a server install and lets clients stay without it, for 1.21 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License. BetterZ targets Fabric and Quilt for 1.20.1, and a server install is required while clients may leave it out. Both are separate from this mod's level checks on Nether content.
