Deep Mining Gear

As you go deeper mining, you need to progressively get better gear.

The Deeper you go the harder it becomes to mine,  unless you use the appropriate gear.

 

Mine normally between Y levels 49 and up.  Between 48 and 33 you begin to slow down.  Between 32 and 17 things start to go dark.  Once you get as deep as Y 16 you start taking damage if you don't equip the correct gear.

 

There are 3 levels of gear that are needed for each level with each increasing level of gear able to handle farther down.  Once you reach level 3 gear you can go anywhere without consequence.   

 

For modpack makers:

 

  • The 4 levels are configurable via a config script.
  • The vanilla recipes are fairly inexpensive.  I suggest you change them.  This mod goes really well with customized ore levels like OreTweaker.
  • Level messages can be changed via the lang file
  • there are three forge tags that you can use to added gear to specific levels:
  • forge:armor_level_1
  • forge:armor_level_2
  • forge:armor_level_3
