RPGItemTweaksDefaultComponents
by hokage3211
RPGItemTweaksDefaultComponents is a Fabric datapack that rebalances items from the RPG series mods by changing their default components.
What it does
The datapack overrides default item components so that gear from the RPG series mods behaves differently out of the box. Its stated purpose is to prepare the RPG series for an upcoming modpack, with buffs to some items and nerfs to others. Armors and weapons from the Archers, Armory, Arsenal, Bards, Druids, Paladins Priests and Relics RPG Series are covered, along with the dragonsteel weapons combat content.
The changes are meant to make players weigh one armor against another rather than moving straight to the strongest option. Dragonsteel weaponry is nerfed slightly, and netherite dragonsteel armor is made difficult enough to obtain that the grind for it feels worthwhile. The mod is a server-side datapack, so players join without installing anything, while the server needs it loaded. Files are published for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.1.1+mod for 1.21.1 as the latest Fabric file, under the MIT License.
Key features
Default component overrides
Item default components are replaced, so the rebalance applies to items as they are obtained without any command.
Dragonsteel weapons nerf
Dragonsteel weaponry is weakened slightly, reducing its lead over other weapons in the same series.
Armor choice incentive
Armors from the RPG series are adjusted so that players have a reason to compare options before settling on one.
Netherite dragonsteel armor
The netherite dragonsteel armor is made hard enough to obtain that the effort of gathering it is rewarded.

Use cases
Modpack balancing
A modpack author can load the datapack to tune RPG series gear without editing each mod's own files.
Server progression
Server owners running RPG series mods can adjust the pace of progression through item balance alone.
Who it’s for: Modpack authors and server owners who run the Archers, Armory, Arsenal, Bards, Druids, Paladins Priests or Relics RPG Series mods, or dragonsteel weapons content, and want those items rebalanced.

What the author says
A datapack using default components mod to help rebalance items in my upcoming modpack, buffing RPG series armors, and nerfing dragonsteel weaponry slightly. This is for balance changes in order to encourage players to actually make a choice between armors, instead of immediately going for netherite for dragonsteel…
