Savaru's Affixology
by RowLan_232oO
Savaru's Affixology adds an RPG-style affix system to equipment, so two items of the same base type can roll different bonuses, rarities and special effects.
What it does
Equipment drops in several rarity tiers with randomized affixes, and some pieces arrive as Unidentified Gear whose real rarity and affixes stay hidden until an Identification Ticket is used at an anvil. Players fight monsters and find unidentified equipment, then compare rarity and affixes before deciding which pieces to keep, so the drop loop rewards checking loot rather than ignoring it.
Upgrades are handled by Enhancement Stones, which raise a item's base stats. Higher enhancement levels are harder to push, and failed attempts leave the item weakened until repaired, while Supreme Enhancement Stones always succeed at the high end. A Deconstruction Stone extracts one random affix from an item and preserves it for later use on matching gear. A separate gem progression adds its own crafting chain and socket rules, with different equipment types supporting different socket counts, and repeated gems in one item grant resonance bonuses for more focused builds.
The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, and it is classed as an optional addition on either side: it works on a client or a server, and neither needs it. It is released under the MIT License, which means it is not open source in this catalog's terms. Version 2.0.0 added content on top of the earlier releases.
Key features
Rarity-tiered affixes
Equipment appears in several rarity tiers, each with randomized affixes that change how a weapon or armor piece fights.
Unidentified gear
Some drops stay hidden until an Identification Ticket is used at an anvil to reveal the item's true rarity and affixes.
Enhancement stones
Stones raise base stats on identified gear, with higher levels carrying a greater risk of failure.
Affix extraction
A Deconstruction Stone pulls one random affix from an item so it can be kept and applied to matching gear later.
Gem sockets and resonance
Gems fit into sockets whose count depends on the equipment type, and repeated gems on one item trigger resonance bonuses.

What the author says
Savaru Affixology turns Minecraft equipment progression into a deeper, ARPG-style loot system. Instead of every sword or armor piece feeling the same, gear can roll with different rarities, affixes, and special effects, creating equipment that changes how you build and fight.
