ItsVoyage's Rift Bound
by ItsVoyage
Rift Bound, by ItsVoyage, is a Fabric progression mod in which players collect Rift Shards and upgrade them into Rift Crystals, Rift Gems and finally Rifts.
What it does
The progression starts with Blank Rift Shards mined from new Rift Shard Ore and Deepslate Rift Shard Ore, which also appear alongside Uranium Ore in the Overworld. Each shard can be transformed into an ability shard for strength, speed, health, lightning, the Warden, the Wither or the Ender Dragon. Upgrading shards creates Rift Crystals, a refined form of the same energy with the same ability list, and Rift Gems come after that, pushing the abilities past their normal limits.
Rifts are the last stage, described as complete mastery over Rift energy and the strongest abilities the mod offers. The Rift Altar is the core of the progression: it is where shards are upgraded, crystals and gems are created, and Rift access is granted. Upgrade Tablets move the player through each stage. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 26.1.2, with 0.9.6 as the latest file on the beta channel.

How it compares
Better Gems is another Fabric mod for 26.2 that also runs on client and server, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Prismatic Gems is a Fabric mod for 26.2 with the same environment, released under the MIT License and not open source. Rift Bound targets 26.1.2 only, so it does not overlap with either version range.
