Small Things
by Nox_Pallida
Small Things adds a set of vanilla-like armor and tools in three new material tiers, with a lighter-weight tier between diamond and netherite, plus an upgrade of netherite, for Forge.
What it does
The first new tier sits between diamond and netherite in its stats, and covers armor and tools. Each piece is a step up from diamond, while staying below netherite, so a player who has not yet reached the Nether can still progress. Swords and axes follow the same placement.
The top tier is described as a superior upgrade of netherite, with its own armor and tools, and it does not add an attack speed boost. The mod also includes a small structure that players can find while exploring, and tools are listed as separate items so each can be crafted on its own. Small Things is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Files exist for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.2.7-1.20.1 for 1.20.1, published on 2025-04-13. The mod was first published on 2024-09-23 and last updated on 2025-04-13.

And the according tools: - The mithril ones sit between diamond and netherite in terms of stats except the sword and axe who both have an enhanced attack speed. - The orichalcum ones are superior to netherite but don't have the attack speed boost. And finally a little structure, the Mine.
