About this project

What does Upgradable Tools add?

Upgradable Tools!

This mod adds more Smithing Templates, akin to the one that upgrades diamond to netherite, so you never have to discard your beloved tools.

Recipes:

  • Wooden Upgrade - 7 dirt and 1 plank of any wood.
  • Leather Upgrade - 7 dirt and 1 leather.
  • Stone Upgrade - 7 planks of any wood and 1 cobblestone.
  • Chain Upgrade - 7 leather and 1 chain.
  • Gold "Upgrade" - 7 planks of any wood and 1 gold ingot.
  • Iron Upgrade - 7 gold nuggets OR 7 cobblestone and 1 iron ingot.
  • Diamond Upgrade - 7 iron ingots and 1 diamond.
  • Fiery Upgrade - 7 blaze powder and 1 fiery ingot.

How to use:
To apply a specific upgrade, you will need the template and 1 of the desired material. For example, to upgrade from iron to diamond, you would need 1 diamond template, 1 diamond and your iron gear.

Random facts:

  • You can upgrade any armour or tools, even modded, into any of the available upgrades - even downgrading if you so wish.
  • This mod is very useful when you loot any golden equipment, since gold naturally has a high enchantability, so you will likely have better enchantments after upgrading it.
  • We actually have support for Spartan Weaponry! Any tool from Spartan can be upgraded into any of the available templates.
  • If you're insane, you can use a Fiery Upgrade to convert 1 steak to 1 hydra chop.

Planned features: (not yet implemeted)

  • Turtle Helmet upgrade
  • Allow application of templates to horse armour
  • Twilight Forest
  • Thermal Series
  • Converting templates between mods (such as Ice and Fire copper -> Thermal Series copper)
  • Spartan Shields
  • Ice and Fire
  • Aquaculture 2's Neptunium
  • Mystical Agriculture
  • The Bumblezone

Currently in development:

  • Mazebreaker (Twilight Forest) - Texture needs doing.
  • Horse Armour - Recipes need implementing.
