ItemStages for NeoForge 1.21.1 is a progression addon that allows modpack creators to restrict item usage based on player stages.
The mod works together with GameStages-style progression systems. It lets packs decide which items can be used, equipped, held, or accessed only after a player has reached the required stage. This is useful for packs that want structured advancement, RPG-like progression, age systems, boss-gated content, or class-based item access.
For players, ItemStages creates a clearer sense of progression. Powerful weapons, armor, tools, curios, or special items can be kept locked until the correct stage is unlocked. This prevents players from skipping major parts of a modpack and makes rewards feel more meaningful.
For example, a modpack can allow players to find a late-game sword early, but prevent them from using it until they defeat a required boss or complete a questline. Armor can also be restricted so players must progress naturally before wearing stronger gear.
Features include:
- Stage-based item restrictions.
- Support for progression-focused modpacks.
- Useful for weapons, armor, tools, curios, and other items.
- Helps prevent progression skipping.
- Designed for NeoForge 1.21.1 modpacks.
ItemStages is mainly intended for modpack developers who want better control over how and when players can use modded items.
