Proper Rose Gold
by Fireflyer
Proper Rose Gold adds a rose gold metal to Minecraft, with ingots made from gold and copper, and tools, armor and horse armor built from it.
What it does
Rose gold ingots are crafted from gold and copper, and the metal then goes into a set of tools and armor. Golden armor can be combined with rose gold through a smithing table to make a rose gold upgrade, and the upgrade produces rose golden pieces. Rose golden tools sit slightly below iron in durability and dig a little faster, while the upgrades turn up most often in the temples of the desert biome. The mod also includes a texture overhaul, horse armor, armor trims and changes to loot tables.
The mod is distributed for Forge only, with files for 1.19 and 1.19.2. Its latest file, 2.1.0-1.19.2, targets 1.19.2 and was published on 2024-03-09. It needs both the server and every player to run it, since the environment is client and server. The code is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Rose gold ingots
Ingots are made by smelting gold and copper together, giving a metal that is not found as ore in the world.
Rose gold armor upgrade
Golden armor combined with rose gold at the smithing table becomes rose golden armor, with the upgrade recipe handled in the table.
Rose golden tools
Tools made from the metal have durability just under iron and a slightly faster mining speed, so they fit the mid game.
Horse armor and trims
Rose gold horse armor is added, and the armor trims apply to the new pieces alongside the vanilla trim materials.
