Packnite

by ModxStudios

Packnite changes the ore requirements of Minecraft 1.19.4, so that certain ores can only be mined with a Netherite Pickaxe.

FabricForgeClient and serverAFL-3.01.19.4

What it does

Packnite makes a Netherite Pickaxe the tool needed to break a particular ore. The ore still drops diamond when mined, but only a Netherite Pickaxe can break it, so a lower-tier pickaxe leaves the block unbroken. Blocks of this ore are found between Y 10 and Y -58.

The mod is aimed at players who want a harder mining challenge within 1.19.4. Because the change only affects the mining requirement, it keeps the rest of the vanilla item and block set intact and does not add new weapons or armor.

Packnite runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Fabric and Forge for 1.19.4 only, and the code is licensed under the AFL-3.0 License without being open source.

Key features

  1. Netherite-only ore

    The ore cannot be broken with any pickaxe below Netherite, so lower tools leave it intact.

  2. Diamond drop

    Breaking the ore with a Netherite Pickaxe yields diamond, keeping the reward tied to the harder tool.

  3. Deep placement

    The ore generates between Y 10 and Y -58, the range where players usually search for diamonds.

  4. Sword balance

    The mod does not add a stronger sword, since the author chose to keep damage unchanged and avoid overpowered combat.

What the author says

Packnite is a stronger and yet better version of netherite, there is more to minecraft then just having netherite, it can't be broken with anything lower then a netherite pick, so even if you found it between y 10 or y -58. you still can't break it which makes it a good challenge for players as it would take a while…
