Power Upgrade

Upgrade your gear like never before!

Dungeon Difficulty features a unique equipment upgrade system, but it is limited to gear obtained through its own loot system.

This addon removes that restriction by introducing Power Upgrades, special upgrade components that can be found in loot chests or dropped by hostile mobs. Once obtained, they can be applied to any piece of equipment using a Smithing Table.

Whether you’re using vanilla gear or equipment from other mods, you can now benefit from Dungeon Difficulty’s upgrade system without being restricted to its custom loot.

Features

• Allows applying Power Upgrades to any equipment using the Smithing Table
• Adds Power Shards used as upgrade components
• Adds a Power Upgrade Smithing Template
• Power Upgrade loot follows Dungeon Difficulty’s loot rules
• Power Upgrades are fully configurable through datapacks and the configuration file
