💎 ZEN's Upgraded Netherite
A deeper Netherite progression system built around rare alloys, powerful upgrades, socketed runes, and endgame equipment.
ZEN's Upgraded Netherite is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft that expands the vanilla Netherite endgame with a complete alloy-based progression system.
Instead of stopping at vanilla Netherite, players can mine new rare ores, craft advanced alloys, upgrade their equipment through multiple tiers, and customize armor with powerful runes.
The mod is designed as a vanilla-friendly late-game expansion for players who want Netherite to become the beginning of a deeper progression path, not the end of it.

Netherite Anvil for advanced upgrades
Singularite equipment as the ultimate endgame tier

Vanilla-friendly survival progression

🧠 How It Works
The mod adds a new progression path after Netherite.
Players mine rare ores, turn them into gemstone blocks, and combine them with Netherite-based alloys to create stronger upgrade tiers.
Each alloy builds on the previous one, creating a long and rewarding upgrade chain from Netherite all the way to Singularite.
Equipment can then be improved even further with runes. Runes are special upgrade items that can be socketed into armor using the Netherite Anvil. Each rune has 5 tiers, with stronger tiers unlocking better effects.
The ultimate goal is Singularite gear, an extremely powerful and unbreakable endgame equipment tier. Singularite armor can also be upgraded with a Graviton to create mysterious Divine armor.
Wearing the full Divine Singularite armor set grants flight.
