Niobium
by TheRealKushi
Niobium is a Fabric mod that adds palm wood, chairs and stairs, a chisel tool, endrite gear and emerald armor to the vanilla game.
What it does
Beaches generate palm trees, and palm wood becomes a building material with its own stairs, slabs and walls. Quartz brick stairs, slabs and walls add more building options, and wooden chairs extend the decoration set. A chisel tool converts stone, endstone, quartz, packed mud and brick variants in a single action.
Endrite ore is found in the End and crafted into endrite gear that is stronger than netherite. Emeralds now craft tools and armor, a 3D mace model appears in the hand, and netherite horse armor makes horses sturdier. Niobium runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and Fabric API is required beside it. Files are published for Fabric alone, across 17 release versions 1.19 – 1.21.4, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes the mod open source.
