Retro's Cherry Tools and More
by TheRetroDuck
Retro's Cherry Tools and More adds a cherry crystal ore and a set of cherry-themed tools that players can craft once the ore is found.
What it does
The mod adds Cherry Tools to Minecraft with a new ore item, the cherry crystal, which can only be obtained through crafting. Its tools are modeled on the vanilla diamond and netherite tiers, and the author describes them as slightly better than diamond but short of netherite, aimed at casual players who find netherite upgrades hard to reach. Textures follow the vanilla style, and some may change in later updates. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
