Better Than Dirt

Summary

Better Than Dirt started as a joke concept about having dirt armor in Minecraft, but quickly evolved into an idea for a complex tiered system of armors and tools. Better Than Dirt will keep you protected at every level whether you’re surviving the first night, locking swords with a wither skeleton, or ending the ender dragon.
