What it does

Dwarves are a new race of trading characters. Players obtain Dwarven metal ingots and a set of armor and tools by trading with them, and killing guards and monsters among the dwarves also drops materials. The mod needs Geckolib to run, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player must install it. Its source code is MIT licensed and open source, and the only published build targets 1.20.1 on Forge.

Key features

  1. Dwarven weapons and armor

    A set of weapons and armor is added, made from Dwarven metal ingots that come from trades with dwarves.

  2. Rune system

    Runes can be applied to the armor, giving small bonuses such as extra armor, speed or health.

  3. Dwarf trading

    Dwarves sell the metal ingots, armor and tools, and guards among them can be defeated for loot.
