ProgressionUtils main focus is being the focus point of my modpacks. It adds my favorite, most progression-based armors and tools, various custom loot items found in chests, from blocks, and from mobs. It utilizes my library mod for all of its item types, armor and tool functions, and more.

Basic ores, found in the Overworld around y=0, these ores are referred to as Gems, and are used in various crafting recipes. While they do not have their own armors and tools (may be implemented in the future!) they are still important resources to gather. These gems are used in the creation of Cores, which have not been fully utilized yet.

Found in the Nether, these ores are also Gems, however they have slightly more purpose! More difficult and important recipes utilize these, but they do not have their own armor and tools. These gems are primarily used in the creation of Cores, which have not been fully utilized yet.

Found in the End, these ores are the most important. These crystals are mainly used in the creation of Cores, which have not been fully utilized yet.

Brokonium is found encased in Deepslate, and is the highest tier of resource in the mod. It spawns in single-ore veins and drops a dust when broken. Once smelted, a Brokonium is returned. Brokonium is used in its own armor and tool set, and will have more uses as the mod develops.

ProgressionUtils utilizes JALM's various Item Types to classify items for the player to see. This is shown with a tooltip beneath the items name when hovered over in your inventory.

Common Items are the items that are most prominently found. They can be in structure loot such as Spawner Dungeons, Villages, and Mineshafts (mainly). These items can usually be smelted down or crafted up into something new!

Shattered Glass, Broken Armor, Broken Bow, Broken Shears, Tattered Leather Chestplate, Old Fishing Rod, Broken Bottle, Sword/Pickaxe pieces, Blank Music Discs, and Dead Roots are considered Common Items.

Utility Items are items primarily used in crafting, or exchanging into a resource. Within the mod, there are Jars of various materials, Scraps of different metals, Smithing Templates, and a few miscellaneous materials used in crafting such as Cloth, Shoestring, and Obsidian Fragments.

Mob Items are items that can only be obtained by killing mobs. From spider skin, to piglin ears, to creeper eyes, to frog legs! Most Vanilla Mobs that do not have, or don't have a unique mob drop, receive one through this mod.

Spider Skin, Broken Bones, Piglin Ears, Creeper Hearts, Zombie Eyes, Frog Legs, Guardian Tongue, Elder Guardian Shards, Elder Guardian Spikes, Withered Bones, Dragon Wings, Withered Souls

Mainly used only for the Cooked Frog Leg, but it means the item is edible.

While these take the same tooltip as Mob Items, they do exclusively drop from Bosses. These are used to make Aquatic, Withered, and Dragonborn Armor/Tools

Dragon Wings, Withered Souls, and Elder Guardian Shard/Spikes

Treasure Items are also found in loot chests, and they are items/resources used to craft things from Gold to Netherite!

Bags of Gold, Diamond Nuggets, Emerald Nuggets, and Netherite Nuggets

Mainly ores, Resource Items are anything that is considered a valuable resource. This includes all of the ores from this mod and many of our other mods.

Maralite Gem, Argoliem Gem, Strossnium Gem, Taninite Gem, Rubium Crystal, Betium Crystal, Sampsonite Crystal, and Brokonium

Rare Items are considered rare based on how they are obtained. Primarily, they are obtained through looting, or crafting.

Empty Cores, Shards of Desparity, and Shard Fragments

Epic Items are only obtainable via crafting at the time of writing. Mainly the various cores are considered Epic, but Aquatic and Withered Items are as well.

The highest tier cores, and Dragonborn Items are considered Legendary. They are some of the rarest and hardest to obtain items in the game.

Mythic Items are exclusively Brokonium items. They are the highest tier of gear added by any of our mods, and as such are their own category of item.

The Armor and Tools in this mod is meant to be difficult to obtain! It's better than Netherite, includes Full Set Bonuses, and grants various different buffs depending on the type used. If you feel like it's too difficult, it's probably because you aren't combining this with other mods. Withers and Ender Dragons need to be readily available for you to speed up the process of getting these items!
