The Amber Mod
by SLeuser
The Amber Mod adds an amber ore and a rare Alternite ore, which are used to craft a set of custom items for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1.
What it does
Amber is found as ore in both stone and deepslate variants, and its rarity is compared to diamonds. The rarer Alternite ore, similar in rarity to netherite, is the basis for tools and items that can be used with infinite uses. Amber and Alternite together are used to craft most of the other items the mod adds, so the ores form the core of the progression.
The mod includes a range of utility items. Some tools clear a 3x3x3 area at the stats of a diamond pickaxe, some grant a short speed and jump boost, and others throw a fireball or a nuke, summon TNT at the crosshair, knock back players and mobs, levitate blocks, strike lightning or change time and weather. A solid color modifier turns blocks into solid-color versions with no shading or outline. The mod also adds a custom dimension that is travelled through about twice as fast as the Nether, and structures with loot of varying quality.
The Amber Mod is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is released under the MIT License.
