Bonded Mod (1.21.7, 1.21.1) – Progression-Based Minecraft Gear Upgrades

Bonded Mod (1.21.7, 1.21.1) introduces a fresh RPG-inspired gear progression system into Minecraft, allowing your tools and armor to evolve and improve as you use them. Rather than crafting stronger gear from scratch, Bonded encourages players to invest in the equipment they already have. The more you mine, fight, or explore with a piece of gear, the more experience it gains eventually unlocking bonus stats and becoming significantly more powerful.

This mod turns your everyday iron pickaxe or diamond chestplate into a long-term companion that improves over time. Whether you’re a survival builder or a hardcore adventurer, the Bonded system rewards consistent usage, giving you a sense of growth without needing constant upgrades or enchantment grinding. With the addition of new crafting stations, such as the Tool Bench and Repair Bench, Bonded Mod provides a natural and satisfying way to evolve your gear through gameplay alone.

Features:

• Progressive Equipment Leveling: Every piece of gear tools and armor gains experience as you use it. Actions like mining, combat, and movement contribute to its growth.
• Bonus Stats Based on Usage: As gear levels up, it earns stat bonuses depending on how it’s used. For example, a sword may gain extra damage or speed the more you fight with it.
• Tool Bench: A new block that allows you to view, manage, and enhance your gear as it levels up. You can monitor stats, plan upgrades, and see progress in detail.
• Repair Bench: This specialized station lets you restore your bonded gear without losing its XP or stat progression, keeping your most trusted equipment usable for longer.
• Long-Term Gear Investment: Unlike enchantments or upgrades that require rare materials, Bonded rewards gameplay consistency. Your favorite sword or pickaxe becomes a long-term ally.
• Seamless Integration: Built to work smoothly within Minecraft’s survival experience without overwhelming players with complex mechanics.
• Compatible with Fabric and NeoForge: Supports modern mod loaders for greater flexibility and compatibility in custom modpacks.
