⚒️ Tools & Equipments Upgrade

Upgrade at the smithing table. Recycle at the blast furnace.

A fully vanilla data pack that turns equipment progression into a two-way street: reforge your gear up or down the material tiers, and reclaim resources from anything you no longer need — no waste, no dead-end items.

✨ Features

🔨 Smithing Table Upgrades & Downgrades

Using amethyst shards as the upgrade template, freely move tools, armor and horse armor up or down the material chain — go from wood to netherite, or scrap netherite back down to iron if you need to.

Tools (pickaxe, axe, sword, shovel, hoe):

• Wooden ↔ Stone ↔ Iron ↔ Golden ↔ Diamond ↔ Netherite

Armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots):

• Leather ↔ Chainmail ↔ Iron ↔ Golden ↔ Diamond ↔ Netherite
• Copper armor integrates into the same chain alongside iron and gold

Horse Armor:

• Leather ↔ Iron ↔ Copper ↔ Golden ↔ Diamond

Every conversion is fully bidirectional — upgrade for better protection, or downgrade to recover a lower tier without destroying the item.

🔥 Blast Furnace Recycling

Smelt equipment and select blocks to recover their raw materials instead of losing them:

Item	Yields
Chainmail gear	Iron chain
Iron gear	Iron ingot
Copper gear	Copper ingot
Golden gear	Gold ingot
Diamond gear	Emerald
Netherite gear	Netherite ingot
Jukebox / Enchanting Table	Diamond
Crying Obsidian	Obsidian

Perfect for cleaning up storage, recovering materials from damaged or unwanted gear, and closing the loop on equipment progression.

🕹️ How to use

1. Install the data pack into your world's datapacks folder (or via /datapack enable).
2. Upgrade/downgrade: place your tool/armor + an amethyst shard in the smithing table.
3. Recycle: smelt equipment or supported blocks in a blast furnace as usual.

Fully vanilla mechanics — no new items, blocks, or commands. Survival- and multiplayer-safe.
