witheritium
by Trinity
Witheritium is a Forge equipment mod from Trinity that adds materials, a sword, a pickaxe and two tools built around the wither.
What it does
Witheritium adds eight new materials, including gold bone, wither bone, necrogold and necrocore, which are crafted into the mod's equipment. Wither skeletons use a changed loot table, so they drop these materials, which lets players collect what they need without trading or long searches. Witheritium gives an accessory slot and a mod-specific crafting path, and the wither effect is part of how the items behave.
The mod is server-side only: the server runs it and players join without installing anything. Files are published for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with the latest file, 1.0.0, released on 2024-07-31. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
Eight new materials
Gold bone, wither bone, necrogold, necrocore and related materials form a crafting chain for the mod's items.
Changed wither skeleton drops
The loot table of wither skeletons is replaced, so the materials can be collected from those mobs.
Witheritium sword
The sword applies the wither effect to any entity it hits, which can weaken enemies in a fight.
Golden withering purifier
The purifier tool reduces the wither effect at a lower level and, at full strength, removes it while granting regeneration.
