About this project
What does Etherium add?
Etherium is a mod adding exactly one new material, one that goes under the name... you guessed it, etherium! It ultimately serves as better-than-netherite stuff which you can gain access to by visiting The End and exploring End Cities, where Etherium Ore sometimes generates in chests. Furthermore, all tools and armor crafted from etherium have special abilities that fit their endgame status.
Be aware that items this mod provides fully originate from Enigmatic Legacy, and will remain incorporated in parent project. It simply serves as an opportunity to include etherium and related items in your modpack without having to include rest of the content EL provides and two mods it depends on. As such, this mod does not have a dedicated repository and issue tracker - the source code is presented in subproject on EL repository, and all bugs should be reported there.
You don't have to include this mod in your modpack if you already have Enigmatic Legacy installed.
As of release 2.25.0 of Enigmatic Legacy, this mod is no longer maintained as a separate project.
