MBK's useful items

by mbkoff8.java

MBK's useful items adds wearable gadgets, handheld devices and exploration tools to survival play on Fabric, for players who want more utility without changing vanilla balance.

FabricClient and serverMIT License1.21.10 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod's content is built around a growing set of wearable gear and handheld devices. Planned items include goggles for seeing in the dark, magnets for pulling in loot, a portable crafting item and several tools for travel and mining.

Each item is meant to read as a believable survival gadget that fits into normal progression. Crafting follows the vanilla style, and the balance is kept close to vanilla. Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server that runs it needs it too. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and the latest Fabric file is 2.1.0 for 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Wearable gadgets

    Goggles, magnets and other gear are worn in equipment slots to provide a tool while the player moves through the world.

  2. Handheld devices

    Tablets, scanners and wands are held and used like tools, with their own uses during exploration and building.

  3. Exploration support

    Grappling hooks, ore scanners and dungeon recovery kits are planned to help with travel, mining and dungeon runs.

  4. Crafted with vanilla materials

    Recipes use copper, redstone and amethyst, so the gadgets draw on resources players already gather in survival.
