BlendedCraft

This update fixes all blended gear and makes old items automatically upgrade – you don't need to recraft anything.

Fixed

• Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel and Hoe now only work fast on the blocks they're supposed to. A pickaxe will no longer mine grass/dirt fast, a shovel won't mine stone fast, etc.
• Mining speed, durability and enchantability now correctly reflect the blocks/items you used. A Bedrock pickaxe is very fast and durable, an Emerald Block pickaxe is balanced correctly, and weak blocks make weak tools.
• Attack damage and attack speed now scale correctly for every tool type. Before all Nether Star tools had the same 7 damage / 1.65 speed and all Emerald Block tools had 3.8 damage – now each tool is different just like vanilla: Sword 8/1.6, Axe 10/1.0, Pickaxe 6/1.2, Shovel 6.5/1.0, Hoe 1/4.0 for Netherite, and blended Nether Star is correctly stronger than Netherite on every tool.
• Armor fixed. Nether Star armor no longer gives only +1 – Helmet/Chest/Leggings/Boots now give proper high protection, toughness and knockback resistance per piece, just like vanilla Diamond/Netherite sets. Same for Emerald Block, Bedrock and all other materials.
• Shift-stats fixed. Holding Shift now shows the real Mining Speed, Attack Damage, Attack Speed, Armor and Toughness for your blended item. It no longer shows Mining Speed: 1.00 for everything and the ugly extra lore line is removed.

Improved

• Rare and important items that can't be placed now make powerful gear. Nether Star, Dragon Egg, Elytra, Totem, Heart of the Sea, Beacon, Enchanted Golden Apple, Ancient Debris etc. are now correctly treated as very strong materials, even though they have no hardness.
• Overall balance now feels like vanilla – better material = stronger/faster gear, with proper differences between wood, stone, copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite tiers.

Compatibility

• Fully backward compatible. Old blended tools and armor from your world will automatically update to the correct stats the next time you load the world / join. No recrafting needed. Vanilla items are never touched.
