Material Ascension
by voxelparrot
Material Ascension, a Forge add-on for 1.20.1, integrates Create's metalworking mechanics with the vanilla and modded progression of Basic Weapons, More Ores More Gems and Better Combat.
What it does
The mod brings extra weaponry to the Basic Weapons and More Ores More Gems material variety, so ores from the second mod can be turned into tools and weapons through Create's crafting. Several legendary weapons are made with Create's mechanical crafting, which places them late in a progression.
Advanced handles and rods are added for toolmaking, giving modpack builders more parts to combine. Better Combat is supported, and recipes can be edited by hand to suit a particular modpack.
Material Ascension requires Basic Weapons, Create and More Ores More Gems. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 as the latest file from 2025-10-13. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
