Anything

What if you could turn almost any Minecraft block into weapons, tools, and armor?

Anything expands the range of materials you can craft equipment from. Wood, stone, glass, crystals, metals, plant materials, and countless other blocks can become your next weapon, tool, or suit of armor, giving familiar materials new uses throughout your survival adventure.

This is an unofficial Fabric port and expansion of the original Anything mod, updated for Minecraft 26.3. The current release is version 1.6.0.

Thousands of Equipment Items

The mod includes 6,390 equipment items crafted from 639 vanilla block variants. Each supported material offers a sword, spear, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.

Supported materials include cinnabar, sulfur, resin, different wood types, copper variants, building blocks, and plant materials. Equipment comes with crafting recipes, material textures, repair ingredients, and enchantability.

Materials Matter

The entire equipment system uses an updated material balance that considers Minecraft block hardness, rarity, crafting cost, brittleness, and material content.

Compressed materials provide substantial upgrades over their ordinary counterparts. Diamond block equipment outperforms regular diamond equipment, while netherite block equipment offers greater durability, stronger protection, and improved performance over regular netherite equipment.

Obsidian tools have 2,304 durability, crying obsidian tools have 3,072, and reinforced deepslate equipment sits above netherite block equipment in the progression.

Thin building components and soft plant materials generally produce weaker equipment. Cosmetic colors do not grant arbitrary strength bonuses, and waxing copper preserves the corresponding equipment statistics.

These properties are gameplay approximations, designed to create a consistent progression rather than simulate real material science.

Spears for Every Material

All 639 supported materials have their own spears, using Minecraft's native jab and charge attacks, extended reach, stab animations, and movement dependent charge damage.

Durability, damage, handling, enchantability, repair ingredients, and item fire resistance follow the corresponding material.

Spears support Lunge and other compatible weapon enchantments. Each spear has separate inventory and held textures, a recipe book unlock, and smelting and blasting support for recycling.

Crafting follows the vanilla diagonal pattern using one material block and two sticks.

Projectile and Explosion Protection

Armor made from obsidian, crying obsidian, diamond blocks, netherite blocks, and reinforced deepslate, together with vanilla netherite armor, provides additional protection while worn.

You can mix qualifying materials to complete the set. Each piece must occupy its correct armor slot.

This protection stacks with ordinary armor protection and enchantments. Armor continues to lose durability normally, and item tooltips explain both the individual contribution and the complete set bonus.

Luminous Armor

Armor from 36 luminous materials remains bright in the dark, including glowstone, shroomlight, froglights, redstone materials, sea lanterns, and copper bulbs.

The bright armor appearance requires no additional mod.

Optional LambDynamicLights support also allows luminous armor and held or dropped equipment to illuminate their surroundings. Nearby lighting requires a compatible LambDynamicLights installation with dynamic lighting enabled.

Installation

Requires Minecraft Java Edition 26.3, Java 25, Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer, and Fabric API 0.165.2+26.3 or a newer compatible build.

Place the mod's JAR file in your mods folder. When updating, replace the previous Anything JAR so that only one version is installed.

For multiplayer, install the mod on both the server and each player's client.

LambDynamicLights is optional. Your existing Fabric API 0.165.2+26.3 remains suitable for this release.

I made this port for my own enjoyment after waiting two years for an update to a mod I loved. This is a personal passion project, and I do not monetize it. AI tools and manual editing and play-testing, bug-finding were used in this project.
