Op Upgrades

by Signal

Op Upgrades adds upgraded Netherite tools and weapons that sit above the vanilla gear in the late-game progression.

What it does

The Fabric and NeoForge mod gives Netherite equipment a stronger counterpart for each piece, including a Sword Katana and an upgraded Pickaxe. Each upgraded item uses custom textures and enhanced stats, and it can be crafted in Survival from Netherite materials, so the path to it runs through the normal progression chain.

Its upgraded items keep higher durability than the vanilla Netherite gear they replace, along with increased attack damage and faster mining speed. The efficiency gains are tuned to keep the game balanced rather than trivialising the late game, so the survival experience stays intact. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2 on both loaders, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest build on Fabric and NeoForge. The code is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.
