Sol's Item Rarity
by solmochi
Sol's Item Rarity adds a configurable rarity tier system to Minecraft, so items carry a rarity and gain bonuses that scale with it.
What it does
Items receive a rarity tier that is stored with each item instance, so two copies of the same item can carry different rarities. Weapons and armor roll a random rarity on first use, and the gear then gains attribute bonuses, item slot borders and animated visuals. Boss drops can be set up to produce unique gear, and loot progression is randomized.
The mod is a Forge and NeoForge release for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.11, with files also listed for 1.16.5 and 1.21.1. Forge and NeoForge both need the mod on the client and on the server, and multiplayer sync is supported. The code is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved. A full guide is included as instruction.txt.
Key features
Tiered item rarity
Items are assigned rarity tiers, and each tier sets the stat bonuses the item can receive.
Per-instance storage
Rarity is kept in the item's NBT data, so each copy keeps its own tier when moved or traded.
Scalable stats
Attribute bonuses scale with rarity, and the values can be adjusted through a configurable JSON system.
Relic and addon support
The mod includes a relic system and is recommended by its author as a base for addon mods.
