Progression+
Progression+ adds an extra tier of gear for NeoForge that sits between netherite and the later game, with armor and tools made from alloys and gems.
What it does
The mod adds the Lithium, Sapphire, Steel, Steel Alloy, Ruby and Sculk Brass armor sets, which fill the gap after netherite in a survival run. Crafting alloys is part of the path, so the new materials come from items players can gather and combine rather than from a separate dimension. Client and server both need the mod, and only NeoForge files are published, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11.
Key features
Alloy-based armor sets
Steel Alloy armor gives two more armor points than netherite, and Brass and Sapphire give one more.
Crafted alloys
Steel and Steel Alloy are made by combining materials at a crafting step, so the metals stay in reach of a normal survival run.
Balanced gems
Ruby armor adds one point over netherite, while Lithium armor offers one less, trading protection for another property.
