Tools&Weapons+

Players start with a wooden tool or weapon and combine it with an evolution gem, stone or crystal at a smithing table. Each step moves the item up one tier, from stone to iron, then gold and diamond, and finally netherite once an Enderstar netherite ingot is added. A deep ingot placed with an iron ingot produces the smithing table that the upgrade chain needs early on, which answers the question of how to reach one before an iron pickaxe exists. The mod's recipes can be read in JEI, which is the recommended way to follow each step.

Bows, swords and hammers are among the weapons the upgrade path reaches, alongside light and heavy armor sets and tools like vein miner and excavation pickaxes. Bows, tools and armor each have their own progression, so the path for a bow differs from the path for a pickaxe. Some weapons can be reverse-gripped with a stone reversal gem, and a ranger bow is included in the set.

The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, and the server and every player need it. Tools&Weapons+ is published under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its first file appeared on 2026-08-12 and the latest file, 1.2.2, on 2026-09-09. Setting the recipes to default removes the upgrade recipes that the mod installs automatically.
