Better Tools and Armor for Minecraft

Review Better Tools and Armor

Thanks so much for 19,000 downloads!

(Curios API and Just Enough Items required for the latest version)

Overview

Better Tools and Armor is a mod for Forge/NeoForge 1.19.4/1.20.1 which aims to improve Minecraft's progression system by encouraging exploration. Many new ores are added, each of which spawning in unique locations. For example, Sapphire Ore only spawns above y=100.

BT+A also extends Minecraft's progression beyond Netherite, emphasising player freedom and choice. Once you have Netherite gear, you can choose to either go for Ender Titanium, or Crystallite, depending on your taste. Ender Titanium is the most powerful resource overall in the mod, while Crystallite can be upgraded in many ways to excel in certain areas!

BT+A also adds a whole heap of other features designed to fit somewhat well into Survival Minecraft. Check out the Images Tab, or the Knowledge Base for more information!
