Overpowered Mastery
Overpowered Mastery adds NeoForge tools, weapons, armor, mobs and blocks that do not follow the vanilla progression, and a player crafts one of them with the mod.
What it does
The mod departs from vanilla balance on purpose. Its tools, weapons and armor are stronger than their vanilla counterparts, and some new weapon types, items and blocks are added alongside them. Mobs are also tuned to be harder than usual, so fights in its content are not like the base game. Each addition is meant to keep the fun level high rather than to fit the standard way the game plays.
The author describes the design as closer to older modding, when content was added freely without rebalancing the rest of the game. Some items are balanced and others are left deliberately unpredictable, and new content can arrive at any time in later updates. Environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8 and 1.21.11, and the latest is 1.0.5 for 1.21.11, released 2026-07-24. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source.
