VERSION 11.2 AVAILABLE NOW!!

Useful Information:

Overview

Better Tools and Armor is not just another overpowered toolpack mod. It aims to overhaul Minecraft's progression system by extending it past Netherite and adding more player choice, all while encouraging exploration. Many new ores and resources are added, each of which spawning in unique locations. Every tool/armor-set in the mod is designed to have a unique feel to it. For example, Sapphire tools can freeze your opponents!

Crystallite is the largest feature in the mod. Found underground, similarly to Amethyst Geodes, Crystallite can be used to craft equipment which is more powerful than Netherite! Every piece of Crystallite gear can be upgraded in 16 different ways, to gain a special ability. Each upgrade is part of a set, which has a theme based on the material it is crafted with. Some upgrades make gear more powerful, while others extend its utility. The choice is yours!

On top of all this, BT+A adds a whole heap of other features designed to fit well into Survival Minecraft, with a kind of vanilla-plus feel to them. Check out the Images Tab, and the Knowledge Base for more information!
