Rolling Stones
by Sindercube
Rolling Stones replaces attribute-boosting enchantments and the anvil repair penalty with a progression system built on Smithing Stones, for Fabric players on 1.21.1.
What it does
Equipment upgrades in Rolling Stones come from Smithing Stones, items that are combined with specific upgrade items to improve gear. The enchantment effect system drives these upgrades, and the data is defined in data files rather than code, so pack makers can adjust it without editing the mod.
The mod removes generic enchantments such as Sharpness and Efficiency, removes the repair cost penalty that anvils normally add after each repair, and removes Mending entirely. Chests in ancient cities are replaced by Strongboxes, which take longer to open and resist breaking more than regular chests. New tooltips show enchantments and armor trims.
Rolling Stones is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is published for Fabric only, with 0.4.0 as the latest file for 1.21.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It requires Euclid's Elements and Fabric API.

Forged Path is an MIT-licensed, not open source option for Fabric, with client and server support for 1.21.11. Harry's Armor and Tools is also client and server, not open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.21.1. Sharper Tooltips is open source under the MIT License, client-side only, and covers 1.21 – 1.21.10, so it adds tooltips without changing gear.
