About this project

What does Upgrade +9 add?

Upgrade +9

Turn ordinary gear into a legend. Upgrade +9 adds the Fusion Table, where you refine weapons, armor and tools from +1 up to +9 using materials from every corner of the game.

Features

  • Fusion Table: place your equipment, add the required materials and press Refine.
  • +1 to +9 progression for swords, axes, helmets, chestplates, leggings and boots. Bows can be refined too.
  • Tools too: pickaxes, shovels and hoes can be refined as well, and each level makes them mine faster, on top of Efficiency and Haste.
  • Real stat gains: every level adds attack damage to weapons, armor points to armor and mining speed to tools. The +9 step is a big jump.
  • Risk and reward: each level has its own success chance. A failed fusion can drop the item back a level, and a Totem of Undying can protect it.
  • Recipes that follow your progress: low levels ask for simple farmable materials; high levels send you to the Nether and the End.
  • Spectacular visuals: refined gear shines in its own colours, read automatically from each item's texture. The effect grows with every level: moving sheen and sparks on armor and weapons, electric arcs at high levels, a calmer version on tools, and floating glyphs on enchanted gear. +9 is the strongest.
  • Immersive fusion animation with layered sounds, and a recipe book that shows what each level needs.
  • Works with other mods: weapons and armor from other mods are detected by their attributes. (Tools are supported for vanilla items only.)
  • Languages: English, Spanish and French.

Configurable recipes

Don't like the costs or odds? A config file (config/upgrade_plus_9-recipes.json) lets you change the ingredients, success chance and failure penalty of any recipe, without a datapack. A reference file with all the default values is generated next to it. Invalid entries are ignored and the official recipe is used instead.

For servers and modpacks

  • Success and failure are decided on the server only.
  • All recipes and stat tables are data-driven JSON, so you can also change costs, chances and bonuses with a datapack.
  • Client options let each player reduce effects, particles and sounds.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.20.1
  • Forge

Updates

Version 2.1.0 is updated in place: fixes and improvements are released as new builds of 2.1.0 rather than new version numbers. If something looks off, re-download the file.
