Tier It

Items can be given a tier when they are crafted, looted or otherwise obtained, and a higher tier usually brings a larger set of stat changes. Each tier carries a mix of positive and negative stat combinations, so a Common piece and a Unique piece of the same kind can play very differently. The six tiers run from Common through Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary up to Unique.

Rolls and tooltips are tied together. Tooltips show what changed on an item compared with its vanilla version, and the effects apply at runtime through item attributes that Minecraft already supports. Reforging takes place in a custom tab of the anvil interface, where a player can reroll the tier of an eligible item and spends amethyst as the material for the process. The tiers apply to tools, weapons, armor, mount gear, harnesses, boats and minecarts.

Tier It runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.

The mod is in beta, and the author notes that the core systems are playable while balance edge cases may still change.
