About this project
What does Tetra add?

Tetra is a minecraft mod that allows players to modify and improve tools, weapons and other types of equipment. Modified items can be improved over time through use. Powerful tool parts and schematics can be found in the world by scavenging ancient ruins or through trade and barter.
Tetra has two advancement tabs which covers most of the available content, and the holosphere provides an overview of the stats of modules, improvements and materials.
