What it does

The new steel material is the base for most recipes in the mod. Two netherite sidegrades are added, along with weapons such as the Abyssal Blade and the Pale Mace. The Abyssal Pale Paladin armor and the pale rogue armor variant are crafted from white jewels that can be found in nether fortresses, which provide quartz cores and netherite ingots.

Several item sets are built around specific effects. The Chaosteel armor set, the Galaxite items, the Alh armor and weapon set and an armor greatsword are included, and a full suit of shademaster armor grants a Lord Shades advancement. Shademaster armor raises the damage dealt by tamed mobs by 20 percent and applies a shaded debuff when the wearer drops to half a heart. Tamed mobs can be picked up with a pouch item. The Broken Bones and Bleeding potion effects are part of the set.

Key features

  1. Steel material

    Steel serves as the main ingredient in most crafting recipes, tying the new weapons and armor together.

  2. Netherite sidegrades

    Two new sidegrade items use netherite as a base, offering alternatives to the vanilla netherite gear.

  3. Pale weapons and armor

    The Abyssal Blade gains speed on right click, the Pale Mace grants a resistance effect, and the Abyssal Pale Paladin armor pairs with the pale rogue variant.

  4. Shademaster armor

    Shademaster armor matches diamond armor in stats, boosts tamed mob damage and applies a shaded debuff at low health.
