Hello everyone, just to remind all you that the mod still in development and I've got hacked so in this moment all the files of the mod are lost, we are working to get them restored but I can't promise anything, ill update this soon if I can restore the mod development.

🌌 Extended Tools and Ores

Extended Tools and Ores is a feature-rich Minecraft mod that redefines mining, crafting, and progression by introducing a wide variety of new ores, advanced materials, and powerful tools and armor. Unlike typical ore-based mods, this project focuses on layered refinement systems that challenge players to discover, process, and combine components in multi-step crafting chains to unlock the most powerful equipment.

This is just the beginning—Extended Tools and Ores is still in active development. Each update is built with care and guided by community feedback. Future versions will expand the material variety, improve balance, and introduce new gameplay mechanics that tie seamlessly into Minecraft’s survival loop.

If you enjoy deep progression systems, satisfying crafting challenges, and unlocking powerful gear through clever resource management, this mod is made for you.

Join us on this journey—your ideas and suggestions will help shape the future of Extended Tools and Ores! 🚀✨

🛡️ Armor Set Effects – Unique Perks for Full Gear

Extended Tools and Ores brings a new level of depth to your survival experience with armor set bonuses — passive effects that activate only when wearing a full set of matching armor.

Each armor has been designed with special perks that reflect its theme, encouraging you to adapt your equipment to your surroundings and playstyle.

🔹 Current Armor Effects

• 🧜 Aquamarine Armor
   Grants Water Breathing, perfect for ocean exploration and underwater ruins.
• 🌊 Enhanced Aquamarine Armor
   Adds Dolphin’s Grace along with Water Breathing for unmatched underwater speed.
• ⚡ Aluminum Armor
   Increases movement speed, ideal for fast travel and navigating terrain quickly.
• 💎 Ruby Armor
   Activates Strength II when your health drops below 50%, giving you a burst of power in critical moments.
• ⛏️ Amber Armor
   Gives Haste to improve mining speed, but comes with Unluck — a strategic risk/reward tradeoff.

🧪 Coming Soon: More Armor Effects!

We’re actively working to assign unique passive effects to every armor set, enriching progression and build variety. For example, Emerald Armor is planned to grant Luck, making it ideal for exploring structures and collecting rare loot.

These effects only trigger when wearing the full armor set, ensuring balance and rewarding commitment to each material path.

🛠️ Patch Notes – Release 0.0.7

Extended Tools and Ores continues to evolve, and this update marks another major step toward creating a deeper, more rewarding survival experience. As a solo-developed project, each patch is shaped not just by vision, but by community feedback — so your thoughts are more than welcome.

This version introduces important balancing changes, key fixes, and one of the most exciting features so far: armor set effects.

✅ Other Additions & Improvements

• 🛡️ Aluminum Armor Equip Sound Added
  The missing equip sound has been implemented for the Aluminum set, improving immersion and polish.
• ⚖️ Armor Rebalancing
  All existing armors have been rebalanced to better align with vanilla standards, ensuring fair progression without overwhelming early-game experience.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• 🪓 Tool Speed Restored
  Fixed a major issue causing pickaxes, axes, and shovels to function at abnormally slow speeds. Tools now operate with their intended efficiency.

📦 Vaulted Content

• Several tools and armors (including some enhanced versions) have been temporarily vaulted to reduce clutter and streamline gameplay. This is part of a long-term effort to make each item feel meaningful and well-integrated.
  ➤ Vaulted items are not removed forever — many will return in future updates with reworks or added mechanics.

🧪 The Journey Continues

This mod is still in early development, and your feedback helps shape every decision. Future updates will bring more materials, advanced refining systems, and deeper integration of gear-based progression.
