Variant Tools and Weaponry - Tools and Swords
Variant Tools and Weaponry lets players craft tools and swords from a set of new materials, including Steel, Blaze Gold and Soul Blaze ingots.
What it does
The mod enables players to make tools and swords from more materials than vanilla offers. The added materials are built from ordinary blocks and drops: Cobbled Deepslate, Redstone Block, Lapis Block and Magma Block serve as inputs, and Wither Bone is the key ingredient for the most specific tools. Wither Skeletons drop Wither Bones only rarely, and each bone can be turned into Wither Bone Meal.
Wither Bone Meal does not work like regular bone meal for growing plants. Instead, it converts Grass Blocks and Dirt Blocks into Coarse Dirt, and it has a small chance to produce a Wither Rose. Steel Ingots are made by placing iron ingots in a furnace, and Blaze Gold Ingots combine one gold ingot with four Blaze Powders arranged around it. Soul Shards come from smelting Soul Sand, and Soul Spark Dust combines a Soul Shard with Wither Bone Meal.
Both Fabric and Forge builds are published, for game versions 1.18 – 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. The latest files are 1.1.0+1.19 for Fabric and 1.1.2+1.20.1 for Forge, both dated 2023-09-08.

Wither Bone Meal - Unlike normal Bone Meal this can't be used to grow plants, but instead turns Grass Blocks to Dirt Blocks and Dirt Blocks to Coarse Dirt…
