Quality
by Saurerstoff
Quality adds a quality tier to items, so drops, crafted gear and furnace output can come in uncommon, rare, epic or legendary grades.
What it does
Quality is an enchantment and an item property. The enchantment raises the chance that resources are found at a higher quality, and items of a higher quality can be used as ingredients to craft tools and furnaces that do more. Tools in the pickaxe, axe and shovel families gain mining speed, damage and armor value, while furnaces gain shorter smelting and cooking times, longer fuel burn duration and more enchant power. Fishing rods can gain luck and zoom.
Quality can be set so that only certain items drop at a higher grade: a pickaxe might raise the quality of cobblestone and ores, and a sword might raise the quality of mob drops. Quality items also combine into other quality items of the same rarity. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server. It targets Fabric only, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, the latest being 0.3.0 for 1.21.11. The author lists more content as planned.
