Pure Netherite
by lupuss
Pure Netherite is a NeoForge equipment mod that adds a further upgrade tier beyond Netherite gear, crafted with recipes that work like the vanilla netherite ones.
What it does
Pure Netherite takes netherite equipment one step further. An upgrade item lets a player turn netherite tools and armor into a new Pure Netherite tier, and the new tier is added to the game as its own material with its own crafting recipes, following the same pattern vanilla uses for netherite. The mod is meant to preserve the vanilla character of the game, and its new upgrade tier sits beyond netherite while leaving the rest of the progression largely intact.
The mod is built for players who reach the end of a survival run and want something to work toward. It is aimed at singleplayer and multiplayer worlds alike, and it is a continuation of the survival content that comes before netherite. The author describes version 1 as the first release, and further versions are planned.
Installation needs NeoForge only, with no other mod listed as required. Pure Netherite runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, and the mod is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
