Ancient Gems Reforged expands the Minecraft universe by introducing various unique gems and minerals, scattered across all three dimensions, significantly enriching the mining experience. The mod doesn't just offer a new arsenal of tools, weapons, and armor; it redefines progression through advanced mechanics: increased harvest levels, a nerf to high-tier materials (diamond and netherite), and a durability system conditioned by the dimension you are in and the difficulty level you are playing on. With the threat of new enemies hidden within ores and chests, exploration becomes a much more challenging experience.

➤ For those who downloaded the old "Ancient Gems" mod, I'm letting you know that I lost the entire project, except for a few textures, due to a problem with my PC. Therefore, I decided to delete the CurseForge files and start from scratch.
➤ This new mod is built from the ground up (except for a few textures), retaining some elements from the previous one but with many improvements, including numerous bug fixes, optimized textures/models and a radical performance boost.
➤ Updating so many versions of the mod is a major undertaking. As a result, I will be limiting the number of versions that receive new content moving forward.
➜ Minecraft 1.16.5: The version I play on with my friends.
➜ Minecraft 1.20.1 & 1.21.1: Currently the most popular versions of the game.
➜ Minecraft 1.21.8 & 26.1.2: The latest versions of the mod.
➤ If you found a bug or have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. I try to reply to everyone (though I might take a bit sometimes).
Add over 20 new mobs, ranging from alternative forms of existing ones to new creatures that will make your adventure a true challenge.
