Description

Requires TEG Mat Lib. Requires Java 25.

Have you ever searched for a mod that simply adds new materials—only to find ones packed with extra mechanics, flashy animated textures, or over-the-top tools like instant tree choppers and pickaxovels?

Yeah…this mod ain't that.

If you're looking for high-tech gadgets and magical machines, this probably isn't the mod for you. But if you want a clean, vanilla-style expansion that fits naturally into Minecraft’s core gameplay, you’re in the right place. Keep reading.

This mod adds:

  • Cubic Zirconia
  • Bronze* - crafted from copper and tin
  • Bloodstone
  • Tenumbrum
  • Rubidium
  • Starshard
  • Aquamarine
Material Tier Attack Damage Bonus Armor Strength (Total) Durability Mining Speed Dimension
Cubic Zirconia Iron 2 15 2501 7 Overworld (-48 - 140)
Bloodstone Stone 4 10 99 4 Overworld (-60 - 56)
Tenumbrum Diamond 3 20 1641 8.5 Overworld (-60 - 36)
Rubidium Netherite 4 20 1831 12 Nether (20 - 56)
Starshard Beyond Netherite 5 22 3001 15  Outer End Islands
Aquamarine Iron 3 17 276 5.5 Overworld, in the sea (30 - 58)


To mine:
Cubic Zirconia - stone
Bloodstone - stone
Tenumbrum - iron
Rubidium - diamond
Starshard - netherite
Aquamarine - stone

Addons:

Mythic Metals – Adds two more materials into the game: celestial bronze and imperial gold. Both need a smithing template and a nether star to create. Additionally, these materials can only be used to craft a sword, which is very powerful but can only be used on monsters.

Visible Ores – Just like vanilla tweaks, this resource pack adds ore borders to the ores in this mod.

Decaying Tools – Also like vanilla tweaks, this resource pack makes the tools become visually damaged as they lose durability.

Supported versions:
1.21.1
1.21.4
1.21.11
26.2

1.21.3
1.21.5-1.21.10

*Bronze is only in 1.X and 3.X versions.

Versions in the format of 21.X.X.X require TEG Mat Lib.

Addons:

Celestial Bronze – A mythical metal with divine origins, Celestial Bronze is a rare and powerful alloy known for its shimmering hue and formidable strength. Ideal for crafting advanced tools, weapons, and armor, it integrates seamlessly into the world without feeling overpowered. Whether you're battling hostile mobs or exploring ancient ruins, Celestial Bronze offers both function and flair, staying true to Minecraft’s vanilla spirit while adding a touch of mythological magic.

Visible Ores – Inspired by the Vanilla Tweaks aesthetic, Visible Ores enhances the clarity and visibility of ore blocks by subtly outlining them or adjusting their background textures. It doesn't change how ores function or look radically—just enough to make mining more intuitive and less frustrating, especially in low-light environments. This tweak preserves Minecraft’s core visual style while improving gameplay quality for resource gatherers.

Supported versions:
26.1.X are currently the only versions fully supported. There are also versions for 1.21, 1.21.4, and 1.21.11, but they are no longer updated. Versions 1.21.3 and 1.21.5-10 also have versions, but they are even less updated.undefined

FAQ:

A: When you ask for it.

Q: When will version X be updated?

A: When you ask for it.

Q: Can I put this in my modpack?

A: Sure.
