More Gear Types
by Forest
More Gear Types, by Forest, backports copper gear and adds ruby gear with two new sword types for NeoForge on 1.21.1.
What it does
Gear added by More Gear Types covers copper tools and armor brought back from later versions, plus ruby gear and two sword types. Copper gear follows the Copper Age behavior of a later release, so it can be used in a similar way. The shortswords and longswords are crafted from the same material pattern as the existing swords they resemble, which keeps their recipes familiar. Only the NeoForge loader is supported, for 1.21.1, with 1.2-beta as the latest file released on 2026-06-25 in the beta channel.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it installed. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. The first published build dates to 2026-05-10.

What the author says
Backports copper gear. Adds ruby gear and two new sword types. Copper gear should work the same as it does in 1.21.9 (The Copper Age). I am not the best texture artist, feel free to make and post resources packs changing textures added by the mod.
