What it does

Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, and the mod works with vanilla on the server, so only the server needs the pack in its mods folder or data pack list. Players join without installing it; a required server mod is enough for the upgrade recipe to work as the author describes.

Key features

  1. Iron to diamond upgrade

    Iron armor is upgraded to diamond at a smithing table by combining the piece with diamond.

  2. Datapack configuration

    Behavior is set through a datapack, with the same singular configuration setting used across the PurpurPack packs.

  3. Added and removed recipes

    Upgrade recipes can be added or removed without damaging the running server, as the author notes.
