Dragonstone gear now requires the Smithing Table to craft, plus a Dragonstone Upgrade Template,plus Netherite gear to be upgraded.
Dragonstone ore is much more rare.
Tool and Armor stats are now configurable in the config file.
Ore generation is controlled by datapacks, as was true for the last several versions.
Nether Furnace fuel is now controlled by a datamap very similar to the furnace_fuels.json: data/netherrocks/data_maps/item/nether_furnace_fuels.json.
mod items in chests are enabled in the config file, but controlled by data/netherrocks/loot_tables/chest/*.json files and data/netherrocks/loot_modifiers/chests/*.json.
recipes are still datapacks.
Netherrocks adds two important block tags: "incorrect_for_dragonstone_tool" and "needs_dragonstone_tool.json". Both are initially empty.
Netherrocks adds entries to minecraft tags "incorrect_for_diamond_tool" and "incorrect_for_netherite_tool". As you may have guessed, dragonstone tools are the next tier up from netherite.
The usual aesthetic blocks, shears, and pressure_plates have returned. Dragonstone shears are the one dragonstone tool that does not require an upgrade at the smithing table.
A full set of illuminite armor not only prevents fall damage, it makes you Glow in the dark. This effect is configurable.
final 1.7.10 release.
