Doole's Core & Crucible

Gear progression becomes a long climb. Work up through nine tiers, from wood to reinforced netherite, and upgrade the gear you already have at the smithing table. It keeps its name, enchantments and trim, and comes out fully repaired.

Minecraft 1.21.1, 26.2 and 26.3 · Fabric and NeoForge

⛏️ Tiers

Wood → Bone / Flint → Copper → Iron → Emerald → Diamond → Obsidian → Netherite → Reinforced Netherite

Wood, bone, flint and copper are crafted as usual; stone tools are replaced by bone and flint. From iron up, each tier is an upgrade of the one below, using an upgrade template and an alloy ingot. The top three tiers also need a catalyst: a Ghast Tear, a Wither Skeleton Skull or a Nether Star.

🛡️ Gear

• Pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, sword, spear and mace for every tier
• Tiered bows, crossbows, fishing rods, shields and shears that get better as you climb
• Armour from copper up, with trims that show on the item icon, plus horse and wolf armour

✨ 15 enchantments

These include Vein Resonance (mine whole veins, tunnels or staircases at once), Ender's Grasp (drops go straight into your inventory), Molten Tread (walk on lava), Thermal Tempering (repairs itself in fire) and Aegis Reflection (reflects projectiles).
