About Armors and Items +
hello i am the owner of Armor and Items, GrakelCDX it's been a long time since my last update, precisely 1 year and almost 3 weeks, well exactly more than a year ago like 3 weeks before my last update i was deciding if i want it to continue working on this mod, if you see my youtube channel you can see a alpha gameplay of my attempt of porting Spectrite to Forge1.20.1, that mean that i stopped further developing for this mod, but as you can guess neither this mod or the spectrite port really got any update in a year, why that?, well it all started with the spectrite port as i was trying to do the mechanic of the diamond+spectrite tools i realised that i didnt have enough knowledge or the skills to do a 1:1 copy so i really really got unispered to continue modding for roughly 3 or 5 months, and then i realised that i really liked the base idea of this mod, so i put my hands at work and i been working on a Rework called Gear'd Up and i want to present you some of my advances(work in progress) for any "fan" or someone interested in this new project, and as a sort of goodbye you can play the Beta V1.7.0 featuring the unfinished rework of the amethyst pressence, and for the fans of Spectrite read below.






About Spectrite Port For Forge1.20.1
Good and bad news for Spectrite fans, starting with the good news is that ill still going to continue the develop of the port, as far as my abilities reach, that means that dont expect and 1:1 copy or just 1 mod, ill be depending in external mods for making sure things work, and the bad news is since i am putting all my attention on Gear'd Up, dont expect it to come soon, there's no official release date but after every 1 or 2 updates of Gear'd Up ill drop teasers or work on more content, if you still want some sort of release date ill approximately drop the first version of Gear'd Up in June so expect something for Spectrite Port around July or August, still dont expect a perfect copy, but ill try my best. I know some people may not like this, but i am passionate for the thinks i like, so i hope you can understand that this is what i like.
And another Question instead of Forge would you prefer me to switch the spectrite port to NeoForge?
You can ask for more info in discord GrakelCDX, since i dont have the rights for spectrite check my youtube channel or ask my for discord, Bye
