TieredZ

by Globox1997

With TieredZ, reforging an equipment piece at an anvil can raise its item tier and add modifiers that give extra stat bonuses and abilities.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Equipment made with TieredZ receives a tier and a modifier that adds stat bonuses and abilities. Reforging at an anvil is the way to raise the tier: the left slot takes the tiering item material, with flint used by default when no tag-matched item is present, the middle slot takes the tiering item, and the right slot takes an amethyst shard. Reforging also raises the chance of landing a better tier.

The mod is a Fabric fork of Tiered, which was inspired by Quality Tools and originally made by Draylar; the author published this fork with permission. It needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and LibZ on the client and the server, because the environment is client and server. Five other catalog mods require it, including several TieredZ add-ons and Sweat to Fit.

The mod is open source under the MIT License. Files cover 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest Fabric file, 1.3.8+1.21.1, targets 1.21.1 and was published on 2026-10-10. The author has no plans for a Forge version.

Key features

  1. Tiered equipment

    Equipment pieces are assigned an item tier that determines their stat level.

  2. Modifiers with bonuses

    Each tiered item carries a modifier that adds stat bonuses and special abilities.

  3. Anvil reforging

    An anvil combines a material, a tiering item and an amethyst shard to reforge gear into a higher tier.

  4. Luck-based tier chance

    Reforging raises the odds of obtaining a better item tier, so repeated attempts can improve a piece.
