Netherite simply has to be one of my favorite vanilla additions of all time, when I had first heard the news that Mojang had added a new set of equipment superior to diamond, I was expecting it to be another generic looking set of equipment like iron, gold, and diamond are. Fortunately, Netherite turned out to be a rather neat looking set of equipment, a far cry from all of the generic looking "stronger than diamond" sets found in far too many mods.
To me everything about Netherite was perfect, the color palette, the armor design, the fact that it was not only stronger than diamond but also came with its own little features that only set it further apart, even how it was obtained and crafted made the set feel unique and original. The only thing that I found at least mildly disappointing? The tool designs. While they do have fancier tool rods than any other of the vanilla tools, their overall design is the same, having to rely on their palette to stand out, honestly I've been confused as to why Mojang didn't bother to make the tools look different like the armor does.
Thankfully an issue like this is no problem for a texture pack, and so I present to you these new Netherite tool sprites, inspired by designs u/Pazz34 and u/Stravuk made for Netherite tools (and a bit of thaumcraft 4.2+ inspiration with the sword).
You are free to use this in modpacks without my permission, I frankly feel this should have been vanilla in any case.
