Latest release on GitHub

Relicforged is open source. Its newest release on GitHub is v1.0.0-beta.5, published on Oct 4, 2026.

Added

  • Resonance Compass, a craftable compass that points toward nearby Amethyst Geodes in the Overworld
  • Crafting recipe using a Compass, Resonant Alloy, and Amethyst Shards

Notes

The compass searches loaded chunks within 160 blocks. It cannot point to geodes in unexplored or unloaded areas.

Probably in the future versions I will add coordinates and blocks just as in Explorer's/Nature compass mods.

Before that: 1.0.0-beta.4 (Sep 24, 2026), v1.0.0-beta.3 - Resonant Tier (Sep 22, 2026).

Description from the author on Modrinth

Relicforged

Forge forgotten materials into relic tools.

Looking for recipes, progression or tool stats?
Visit the Relicforged Wiki


Relicforged expands Minecraft's tool progression without filling the world with another set of ores.

Instead, it builds around vanilla materials, custom forging and relic gear with its own abilities.

Start with Resonant tools as a step between Iron and Diamond, then move into Blackened gear forged through the Relic Forge.

Blackened tools come with Searing, a toggleable ability that changes how different tools behave - from automatically smelting compatible drops to setting enemies on fire.

More materials, utility items, blocks and another end-game relic tier are planned as the mod grows.

Still in Beta

Relicforged is actively being developed.

Recipes, balance and some mechanics may change between beta releases as the progression is expanded and refined.

The current wiki always contains the latest recipes, stats and progression information.
