Base Gems

2.5.0.112021 for Minecraft 1.12.2

All 33 gems come across from 1.11.2, along with the OreSpawn deposits, mining XP, smith trades and both Fantasy Level settings. Use Java 8, Forge 14.23.5.2859 or later for 1.12.2, MMDLib 1.0.0 RC3 and MMD OreSpawn 4.1.6.112021. Base Metals is optional on this version.

This is the first published 1.12.2 build. It also works alongside Base Metals 2.6.3.112021. Install MMDLib and OreSpawn on both the client and server.

• Pick up gems and their crafting materials to learn the recipes in the recipe book. It only teaches recipes allowed by your gem and Fantasy Level settings.
• Gem bars, plates, doors and shields have their own models. Ore overlays still use the stone texture from your resource pack.
• Keeps the Base Gems block and item IDs, config keys and Ore Dictionary names from 1.11.2.
• Kept tools, weapons and shields in High Fantasy and left player and horse armour to add-ons. Low Fantasy keeps gem processing, storage blocks and smith trades.

2.5.0.111021 for Minecraft 1.11.2

This port brings over the 33 gems, OreSpawn deposits, mining XP, smith trades and both Fantasy Level settings from 1.10.2. Use Java 8, Forge 13.20.1.2588 or later for 1.11.2, Base Metals 2.5.1.111021 and MMD OreSpawn 4.1.6.111021.

• Updated smith trades and the Forge Mods config screen for Forge 1.11.2. You can still open the same config from OreSpawn.
• Updated the resource pack format so 1.11.2 loads all 18 language files. Gem ores still use overlays with the stone texture from your resource pack.

2.5.0.110021 for Minecraft 1.10.2

Base Gems brings 33 gemstones to Minecraft 1.10.2. Use Java 8, Forge 12.18.3.2511 or later for 1.10.2, Base Metals 2.6.0.110021 and MMD OreSpawn 4.1.6.110021.

• Brought over the gem artwork and colours from 1.12.2. Ores use overlays so the stone from your resource pack shows through.
• Added Overworld deposits through OreSpawn. Common gems turn up in shallower caves, while ruby, sapphire and black diamond reward deeper mining. Existing chunks stay as they are.
• Gem ores give mining XP and support Fortune and Silk Touch. Smiths buy and sell gems as they level up.
• Added High and Low Fantasy and individual gem switches to the Forge and OreSpawn Mods menus. Restart after changing them. Low Fantasy keeps mining, trading and processing while removing recipes for gem equipment, gears and structural parts.
• Added Ore Dictionary names for gems and their material forms, including compound names such as gemBlackDiamond and gemBlueTopaz.
• Kept gem tools, weapons and shields in High Fantasy. Player and horse armour are left to add-ons.
• Translated gem names, blocks, equipment, fluids and config options across the same locale files as Base Metals.
• Updated the build and Eclipse setup to ForgeGradle 7. Minecraft still runs on Java 8.
