More Tools
More Tools is a Fabric equipment mod that fills the progression gap between iron and diamond with copper and bronze tool and armor sets.
What it does
The mod targets the large jump in vanilla between iron and diamond. It introduces copper as an early material with its own tools and armor, and bronze as a bridge between iron and diamond. Bronze is crafted from one iron ingot and one copper ingot, and it has higher enchantability, durability and mining speed than iron, with lower attack damage.
Bronze can dig blocks that iron tools cannot, so it opens a new step in the early game. The author plans two or three more toolsets in future updates. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which places the code in the public domain and makes it open source.
Key features
Copper tools and armor
A copper toolset and copper armor set add an early material between the stone and iron tiers.
Bronze tools
Bronze tools dig blocks that iron tools cannot and trade some attack damage for speed and durability.
Bronze recipe
Bronze is crafted from one iron ingot and one copper ingot, linking the two metals in a single step.
Planned toolsets
The author plans more toolsets, so the mod is expected to grow beyond copper and bronze.
