Refined Netherite
by GLDonutlord
Refined Netherite adds a material tier above netherite, with armour, tools and two endgame weapons for Fabric players on 26.2.
What it does
Refined Netherite sets a tier above netherite for armour and for most tools, including the sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe. Basic tools receive higher stats than their netherite versions, and the armour is buffed as well. Two new endgame weapons are crafted with a dragon egg and are described by the author as comparable in strength. A second tool, a god hammer, is presented as the most strong weapon before the End. Other items include an ichor material that works as an alternative to golden apples after the End, and a philosopher's stone that is needed to craft a custom item.
The mod also adds a refined netherite block and a heart of the sea block that converts some metal blocks into other ones. Its stated purpose is to give players a new goal, with items meant to be stronger than those of other mobs and bosses. The author notes that the mod is balanced but still in development. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
The latest file is 0.0.3, dated 2026-09-03, and the first release was 2026-07-27. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Opazite is a Fabric mod for 26.2 that is client and server and not open source, under All rights reserved. Belser's Reinforced Netherite also targets 26.2 on Fabric with the same environment and license, so both cover the same version as Refined Netherite. Useful Netherite Hoes works on Fabric for 26.1.2 – 26.3 and is limited to hoes, so it covers a wider range of versions than Refined Netherite.
