What it does

Rose Gold Alloy is a new material that players make by combining copper with gold. From it come rose gold tools, weapons and armor, which follow the same upgrade path that netherite follows from diamond: iron equipment can be upgraded into rose gold equipment at a smithing table. A Rose Gold Smithing Template is found in generated structures, so the upgrade is reachable without an early trip to the Nether.

The material is meant to fill a gap in the mid-game. Gold wears out too quickly to use for long, while diamond comes late, so rose gold offers durability close to iron with the mining speed of gold and a small knockback resistance on armor. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Its files target Fabric only, for game versions 1.21 – 1.21.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Installation needs Fabric API.

Key features

  1. Rose Gold Alloy

    A new alloy crafted from gold and copper, used as the base material for the rose gold equipment line.

  2. Tools and weapons

    Rose gold pickaxes, swords and other tools and weapons are durable like iron, with the efficiency of gold.

  3. Armor with knockback resistance

    Rose gold armor gives a small knockback resistance, a step up from plain iron armor.

  4. Smithing upgrade

    Iron equipment is upgraded into rose gold with a Rose Gold Smithing Template, following the same route as netherite.
