Molten Tools - Better than Netherite!
by MagnusV4X
Molten Tools adds molten gear, armour and a Molten Block to the game, crafted from lava, gold and Ancient Debris for players who reach the endgame.
What it does
The mod introduces a set of Molten items, blocks and armour. The Molten Block is a crafted resource made from lava and precious materials, and the tools and armour are built from a blend that includes Ancient Debris, lava buckets and gold. The crafting path is a progression that starts from the same materials as the vanilla Netherite line, and each step asks for a little more of the Nether.
The author describes the gear as stronger and more durable than Netherite, with a flashier look and extra power for players who want more out of their endgame toolkit. The mod is aimed at players who already have Netherite and want a further step up. Molten Tools is made with MCreator and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4 only, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 and 1.0.3 for 1.21.4 as the latest files. The code is covered by All rights reserved.

How it compares
Legacy Netherite is a NeoForge-only mod for 1.21.1 and is also a client and server mod under All rights reserved, so it does not cover the 1.20.1 build. Create: Miscellany is a Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20 – 1.21.1, also client and server, under All rights reserved. Medieval Additions adds Forge and NeoForge files for 1.19.4 – 1.21.5 and is closed source under All rights reserved, so it targets a different version range from Molten Tools.
