OP Netherite

by bushman59

OP Netherite gives netherite tools and armor combat and utility effects that take hold while the gear is held or worn, and it is written to replace vanilla netherite values from a data pack.

What it does

Holding netherite tools or wearing a full set of netherite armor applies status effects. A pickaxe, shovel or hoe grants Haste II, a sword or axe grants Strength II, and a spear grants Speed II. The mod's author describes the upgrade route for netherite gear as underwhelming, and the effects are meant to make netherite worth the cost of the upgrade.

Full netherite armor raises maximum health and adds effects of its own. Combined with tools, the armor adds Resistance II with an axe, Slow Falling II with a shovel in the main hand, Levitation II with a shovel in the offhand, and a magnet effect with a 5-block radius plus Haste II with a hoe. Riding a ghast while holding a spear makes it faster, reaching about 14.44 blocks per second, and a maxed-out horse reaches about 14.57 blocks per second.

OP Netherite is distributed for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version exists for server platforms. Only the server needs to run it, so players may leave it out. Builds cover 26.1 – 26.3, with 1.3.1+mod for 26.3 as the latest file, and the mod is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Tool hold effects

    Holding a netherite pickaxe, shovel or hoe applies Haste II, and holding a sword or axe applies Strength II.

  2. Armor set bonuses

    A full set of netherite armor doubles base health and grants extra effects such as Resistance II and Levitation II.

  3. Spear and mount speed

    Holding a spear applies Speed II, and riding a ghast or maxed-out horse with a spear increases movement speed.

  4. Data pack alternative

    A data pack version applies the same effect fix for servers that do not run the mod's loader.

What the author says

Upgrading to netherite is hard and underwhelming. This data pack aims to fix that by applying effects when using netherite tools or wearing netherite armor. Riding a happy ghast while holding a spear makes the ghast faster, up to 14.44 blocks/s, almost matching a maxed out horse (14.57bps)
