Amethyst Tools

## About Its core purpose is to lessen the pressure to rush for diamond tools. Amethyst tools have enough durability to act as long-term tools, unlike iron. It also rewards exploration in the early game by giving a solid tool upgrade for finding a geode. Its stats fit between iron and diamond, with some careful tuning to give it a unique identity as a material. Less impactful additions, such as armor, are purposely left out to avoid unnecessary bloat to the game. Spear not yet implemented (WIP) ## Mechanics - Crafted using amethyst clusters - Breaking a budding amethyst block with any pickaxe now drops 1 amethyst cluster - Amethyst tools have the mining level of iron, so they can't mine obsidian - Increased enchantability compared to most other tool materials **Recipes:** <img src=https://imgur.com/y8RWDWk.gif> </br> </br> ## Stats | Material | Durability | Speed | Level | Damage | Enchantability | |:---------:|:----------:|:-----:|:-----:|:------:|:--------------:| | Wood | 59 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 15 | | Stone | 131 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 5 | | Copper | 191 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 13 | | Iron | 250 | 6 | 2 | 2 | 14 | | Amethyst | 1061 | 7 | 2 | 2.5 | 19 | | Diamond | 1561 | 8 | 3 | 3 | 10 | | Netherite | 2031 | 9 | 4 | 4 | 15 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Gold | 32 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 22 | ## Q&A - _**Why craft using Amethyst Clusters instead of Amethyst Shards?**_ I like the gameplay loop with it. It feels like there are some hoops to jump through that justify the highly enchantible, near-diamond performance. Either sacrifice budding amethyst blocks or getting lucky with some way to get silk touch early. Other amethyst equipment mods I saw used shards or their own custom amethyst material, but I felt these were each imbalanced approaches in their own ways. - _**Why limit it to only tools?**_ I still prefer vanilla-like gameplay, so I only want to add things that have a clear positive impact on the vanilla gameplay loop to me. Imo, tools were all that were necessary to fill the progression gap. ## License (https://github.com/Kamorzy/AmethystTools/blob/master/LICENSE)
