Old Netherite Crafts
by MrPup
Old Netherite Crafts lets players craft netherite tools and armor directly from their ingredients, without first upgrading a diamond piece.
What it does
The mod adds a direct crafting route for netherite gear: swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels and hoes can be made straight from the materials, and helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots follow the same route. The recipes sit alongside the vanilla upgrade path rather than replacing it, so a world keeps the familiar progression while adding a shortcut.
Beyond the tools and armor, the mod adds a netherite spear, netherite horse armor and netherite nautilus armor, which extend the crafting to mounts and the newer equipment. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a server may add it for its own players without requiring it from them.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 24 release versions, with the latest file dated 2026-09-21. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
