What is this mod?
Ebon Arts is a mod that brings various new ores to discover and new blocks/models to build with, along with several tools, achievements, music, and equipment to spice up the life of an adventurer. This mod also has various quality of life add-ons that allows the creation of various vanilla items that you normally cannot craft, all able to be enabled/disabled via the configs.
For more detailed info about the mod, please visit the main site:
Please remember, when using any mod, to back up your worlds! Say no to lost world saves.
Note for Modpack Creators
Everyone is free to use this mod in any modpack they want. I only ask that you give me credit (Viesis), don't make money off of it (keeping it free), and have a link back to this site (if you can). Otherwise, have fun with it!

UPDATE 3:
This mod rewrite, "Viesis' Gemstones", is coming along very well. I think I have my new Gemstone workbench working exactly how I want it to (minus hopper annoyances I may not be able to fix in time) and all basic gemstones (9 in total) are in game with multiple cosmetic block choices (108 blocks).
Again, I plan on keeping this old Ebon Arts mod up for anyone who would like to use it instead. I want to add more blocks and implement my new legendary weapon system, but that may come post launch.
Notable changes:
- Created a subsystem to be able to add gemstone variants easier (like how 'cryptic' blocks work).
- Overhauled the Velious, Katcheen, Onyxius (obsidian), and Carnelian (glowstone) items/blocks.
- Removed gemstone 'tiers' to make more sense.
- Touched up a lot of the textures.
- Removed the 3 crops (they were painfully useless)
- Added a Gemstone Workbench. Instead of having massive world gen for all of my gems, you can place any items/blocks in this workbench to process items into potential gems.
- Expanding and redesigning the legendary weapon system.
- Going forward, this mod will be updated for mainly 1.10.2 and the newest version out (currently 1.11.2). It was killing me putting out 7 versions of this mod.
I miss this mod :(
I heard about this mod on a youtube video I thought there was a 1.12.2 verson also do you happen to have a discord channel I would gladly join?
Also this is a really cool mod I hope you'll continue on the complete rewrite to the current verson for minecraft forge 1.12.2 unless minecraft forge finally becomes 1.13 anyways keep up the awesome job. I added you on my favorite authors and added this on my favorite mods.
Can't wait for the update the sprites are so dam nice :D <3
just dropping by seeing how the mod progress goes old friend miss this mod while im in 1.12.2 but other then that i await the mods return :)
Just as an update, I have been listing everything happening with this mod in my "Mod Future" section. Brief notes, this mod is undergoing a complete rewrite, called "Viesis' Gemstones". So far everything is working 100% the way I want it to.
In this new mod, you will use my Gemstone Workbench to extract various gemstones from any item. From there, you will be able to create various cosmetic blocks. This should work with other mod items as well. Think of it as a recycler. I currently have all basic gemstones (9 in total) in game with multiple cosmetic block choices (108 blocks). There are more gemstones and other variants planned, including a new legendary weapon system.
Do you still plan to update it ? It was a nice mod. :)

In reply to Viesis:
Just wondering, is this still being developed? I really like it and would like to know if its heading anywhere!
In reply to ErnestoPeroPezzi:
will this be updated to newer minecraft or any update of any type soon?
Hey great, beautiful mod, I really like the attention to detail and overall feel of it, great work!
Couple of things id like to point out however;
Ore dictionary all of your ores? it would make sorting through them easier and make them much more compatible with other mods
Second, as the other guy pointed out, for a primarily decoration mod, this mod takes up wayyyy too much space. I dont know if you could cut it down without ruining your image of it, but as of now its just too much
Great mod though, i really love it and will be using it in all the packs i play :)
In reply to ErnestoPeroPezzi:
But nice work on the mod
Please update this to 1.11.2
is there any way i can reduce the memory usage of this mod? It takes up a lot of memory no matter what I do.
Anything helps xo
The thing that probably takes the most resources are my music discs. Currently, there isn't a way to disable them. I can look into it though.
thank you!! (: This is one of my favorite mods. Your work is so beautiful.
There's a recipe conflict with Quark, namely the block of sugar cane. Their block allows slabs, stairs etc. and yours does not. Possible fixes: 1. Could disable the sugar cane block recipe in config; 2. Could change the recipe (to 2x2?) in config; 3. Could add recipes for slabs, stairs etc. and one can simply disable the block in Quark's config (since they already have that function); 4. Never use the block, and make the peasants suffer.
What version of my mod are you using? I should already have a config option to disable the storage blocks via the configs. Just to change it up, I can have it use 8 with a blank space in the middle, like a chest.
