• Sturdygold Chestplate durability corrected to 1776
• The 9 Netherite Dust recipe now correctly yields a Small Netherite Scrap

🤝 Compatibility

• Farmer's Delight (optional): linked foods and knives; all three knives join its knife tag and can receive the Backstabbing enchantment
• Follows NeoForge common tags (c:ingots, c:nuggets, c:storage_blocks, …) for interoperability with other mods
