Gobber Mod Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Post-Netherite Progression

If you’ve conquered Netherite and are hungry for more progression, the Gobber mod is exactly what you need. Available on both Fabric and NeoForge, Gobber is a vanilla-plus mod that seamlessly extends Minecraft’s gear tiers beyond Netherite — adding new ores, powerful tools, unique rings, medallions, staffs, and even special food. It’s designed to feel right at home alongside vanilla content while offering a satisfying new layer of challenge and reward.

Getting Started: The Three Gobber Ore Tiers

Gobber introduces a three-tier ore system, each building on the last. Understanding this progression chain is the foundation of everything else in the mod.

Gobber Orbs — Found in the Overworld. Requires a Netherite Pickaxe to mine.

Nether Gobber Orbs — Found in the Nether. Requires a Gobber Pickaxe to mine.

End Gobber Orbs — Found in the End. Requires a Nether Gobber Pickaxe to mine.

How to Craft Gobber Gear

The crafting chain for Gobber gear follows a logical progression. Here’s how it breaks down using the Gobber Pickaxe as an example:

Smelt your Gobber Orbs to get Gobber Globets.

Craft 9 Gobber Globets together to make Gobber Globs.

Combine Diamond + Gold Ingot + Iron Ingot + Gobber Globs to craft Gobber Ingots.

Craft Gobber Ingots into Gobber Rods.

Use Gobber Ingots + Gobber Rods to craft your tools and armor — including the Gobber Pickaxe, Gobber Sword, Gobber Bow, Gobber Helmet, and the rest of the armor set.

Armor and Weapon Stats: How Gobber Compares to Netherite

Gobber gear offers a clear and meaningful upgrade over Netherite at every tier. Here’s how the chest plates compare:

Chest Plate Comparison

Netherite Chest Plate: 8 Armor, 3 Toughness, 10% Knockback Resistance

Gobber Chest Plate: 11 Armor, slightly less Toughness, 10% Knockback Resistance

Nether Gobber Chest Plate: 12 Armor, 2.75 Toughness

End Gobber Chest Plate: 3 Toughness, 20% Knockback Resistance

Dragon Chest Plate: Same stats as the End Gobber Chest Plate, but grants Creative Flight.

How to Craft the Dragon Chest Plate

The Dragon Chest Plate is the ultimate armor piece in the mod. To craft it, you’ll need a Smithing Template, an End Gobber Chest Plate, and a Dragon of Lightra — all combined in a Smithing Table. The Dragon of Lightra itself is crafted from End Gobber Ingots, Dragon’s Breath, a Lantern, and a Dragon’s Head.

Weapon Damage Progression

Netherite Sword: 8 Attack Damage

Gobber Sword: 11 Attack Damage (faster attack speed)

Nether Gobber Sword: 13 Attack Damage

End Gobber Sword: 16 Attack Damage

Gobber Fuel (Gobbafu) and Food Items

Gobbafu Fuel

Gobber adds its own fuel source called Gobbafu, which is more efficient than vanilla Charcoal. It’s crafted using a Gobbaglob and some Charcoal. There are also Nether and End variants for even better smelting performance.

Gooey Food Items

Gobber introduces a range of upgraded food items. Start by crafting Goo using an Egg, Sugar, and a Slime Bowl. From there you can make:

Gooey Apple — Crafts 8 at a time, better than a regular apple.

Gooey Bread

Gooey Beef

Gooey Beef Stew

Nether versions of these foods are made with Nether Goo and offer significantly improved stats.

Gobba Lucky Blocks

Scattered underground, you’ll find Gobbaflucky Blocks in Overworld, Nether, and End variants. Breaking these gives you random Gobber items — such as Gobbafu, Gobbafred, or Gooey Beef — making them a fun and unpredictable loot source rather than a traditional ore block.

Gobber Glass

Gobber adds decorative and functional glass blocks, with one version for each dimension tier. These glass blocks emit light, making them an excellent choice for lighting up your base without ruining your builds with torches or lanterns. There is also a special Clear Glass variant, which you obtain by right-clicking regular glass blocks with the Staff of Nature Jar.

Rings

Rings are one of the most exciting additions in the Gobber mod. You craft a base ring from Gobber Ingots and then add materials to give it specific abilities. Rings work not only when worn but also while stored in your Ender Chest — a massive quality-of-life benefit.

Here is a full list of available rings and what they do:

Ring of Attraction — Acts as a magnet, drawing dropped items toward the player. Right-click to toggle on/off; hold Sneak to temporarily disable.

Ring of Return — Teleports you back to your bed location.

Ring of Ascent — Grants levitation.

Ring of Above and Below — Teleports you to the nearest safe block above ground; Sneak + Right-click to go below ground instead.

Ring of the Miner — Mining-related benefits.

Ring of the Farmer — Farming-related benefits.

Ring of Swiftness — Increases movement speed.

Ring of Sunshine — Sunshine-related effects.

Ring of Curing — Cures most negative potion effects. (Nether variant)

Ring of Vision — Grants unique vision abilities. (Nether variant)

Ring of Strength — Provides Strength and Damage Resistance. (Nether variant)

Ring of Repair — Repairs your gear automatically.

Ring of Dismissal — Tosses hostile mobs out of your way.

Ring of Ender Chest — Grants direct access to your Ender Chest from anywhere.

Medallions

Medallions function similarly to rings as wearable curiosities. Like rings, they also work while stored in your inventory or Ender Chest. Here are the available medallions:

Medallion of Lesser Healing — Provides low auto-feeding.

Medallion of Healing — Provides moderate auto-feeding.

Medallion of Shielding — Protects you from projectiles.

Medallion of Experience — Grants more XP drops and loot from hostile mobs, and lets you store and release that XP back into yourself.

Medallion of the Sea — Grants fast swimming, improved underwater vision, and extended breathing.

Staffs

Gobber adds a variety of powerful staffs, each serving a unique utility purpose. Some are craftable from materials, while others require combining items like the Ring of the Farmer with a Gobba Hoe.

Staff List

Staff of Clearing — Breaks Grass, Tall Flowers, and similar blocks around the player.

Staff of Transformation — Transforms certain blocks into others (e.g., a Block of Diamond into a Gas Tier block). Can be used in-hand or via inventory.

Staff of Sonic Boom — Hold it down to continuously fire a Sonic Boom attack.

Staff of Nature Jar — Converts saplings between types, converts between Cane and Bamboo, and right-click converts vanilla glass to Clear Glass (Sneak + Right-click).

Staff of the Farmer — Assists with crop growing. Crafted using the Ring of the Farmer and a Gobba Hoe.

Staff of Sniper — Fires highly precise arrows at high velocity.

Staff of Snare Mont — Captures and stores passive animals and villagers.

Combining Staffs with Weapons: The Sniper Sword

One of the most creative features in the mod is the ability to combine certain staffs with weapons. For example, you can attach the Staff of Sniper to an End Gobber Sword to create a Sniper Sword. This hybrid weapon functions as a full-power End Gobber Sword in melee, but right-clicking lets you fire precise arrows at high velocity — giving you the best of both worlds.

Mod Availability

The Gobber mod is available on both Fabric and NeoForge, making it accessible for the majority of Minecraft modded setups.

Summary

The Gobber mod is an impressive vanilla-plus addition that gives players a meaningful and well-structured reason to keep progressing after Netherite. With three tiers of new ores spread across the Overworld, Nether, and End — plus a rich variety of rings, medallions, staffs, food items, decorative glass, and even lucky blocks — there’s a huge amount of content to explore. Whether you’re a casual survival player or a seasoned modder looking for that extra layer of depth, Gobber delivers without breaking the vanilla feel of the game.
