This is an update for a mod called Gems+ which was originally made by RobZ51 who stopped updating it and uploaded his source code so someone could update it.
(Disclaimer i did not use any of his source code however all of the models/textures that came with the source code belong to
Mod made originally by RobZ51
Ruby Tools Textures by Mitrix50
Item Textures by rolfXD
Sapphire, Amethyst and Topaz Tools by Torzel
Phoenixite Tools, Armor and Block Textures by Zealot067
Ruby by MojangTeam
The rest of the textures by RobZ51
I have tried to ask them for permission to use they textures but none of them have been online for months or years for a few of them
)
This mod adds ruby, sapphire, amethyst, topaz, phoenixite, jade, citrine, garnet, spinel, onyx, agate, malachite, tourmaline, chrysocolla, jasper, sugilite ores, items, blocks, tools, armor, dusts, sand and glass.
Phoenixite tools can be repaired in an anvil with a bucket of lava, they can also be used as flint and steel and also light mobs on fire.
To get glass you first put the gems in furnace to get gem dust, and then you mix a gem dust with two sand and get colored sand, then you can smelt it in furnace and you get colored glass.

whoops looks like i forgot to add them ill do it now.
In reply to leonidas1210VC:

In reply to Trhod177:
lol thanks
I don't know if this is the best place to ask this but there are a good amount of gems mods, and i have no idea what would be the best one per-say to get and keep, this, or Silent's mod
In reply to M644:
i dont know, but the best way to find out is to play with both and see which one you prefer.
In reply to Trhod177:
Yeah true, i have been using Silent's mods for awhile now, and its just hard for me to really pick, just whatever is just better overall, and with good compatibility with Tinkers Construct too also help but is not needed
In reply to M644:
My Opinion is that this mod stays in scope and also works a few other popular mods out of the box.
Ok, another gem crafting mod. Now I know this is MC and fantasy etc. etc, but as a suggestion for a more realistic experience maybe make the armor actual metal combined with gem dust. Any vanilla metals obviously, but also any metals added by other mods could be enhanced this way.
As long as we're at it, lets make enchanted gems, some could be thrown as shards or whole, dropped in water to freeze it, or gems that are enchanted to be hot and can heat a furnace for longer than a.... block of coal or more?, enchanted gem shard tipped arrows that have different effects, enchanted gem dust to combine with metal for gem/metal armor or weapon enhancements, enchanted gem inlay deco for extra enhancements for sword hilts or armor even if they are only vanilla metal items and not made of the gem metal, but if they are made of gem metal having greater enchantability or enhancements are stronger ( would definately have to do some balancing), enchanted gem skulls placed on pedestals for lesser beacon "esque" type of effects, decorative gem blocks. Repairing gem metal items could be done with more of the gem metal and they could have a chance, if they are enchanted, to end up with a reduced enchantment once repaired, unless the gem metal ingot is also enchanted, in which case their is a SLIM chance the item could end up having an enchantment a step up from what it originally had.
Maybe put in a grinder with blades/teeth made out of obsidian or something like that. Add some compat for other metal adding mods and obviously Tinker's Construct and maybe Constructs Armory add-on, how about some compat for the Golems mod, gem metal golems...oh ya.
Anyhow, thanks for picking the mod up and continuing it and thanks to the original creator for making the original mod. It is appreciated, even though we do get a little impatient at times. Thanks.
phoenixite still repairs if we right click on lava?
I was playing with Gems++ installed and spent more than an hour looking for my first diamond and wasn't successful, but I would see gems plus plus ores almost everywhere. So our coder took a look at the code and he says its trying to generate 320 ore veins in every chunk (20 veins for every gem), all of the world gen starts from 0 so all ores get generated in diamond territory and thus diamond has much lower chance of spawning. None of this is configurable except for disabling the individual gem world gen. This is making diamonds almost non-existent.
This was never a problem with the old Gems plus ?
In reply to MohawkyMagoo:
ill add configs for spawn chance and vein size and reducing ore spawn soon
Heya!
I was wondering if you could make a port to fabric?
It would be very awesome and lightweight.
In reply to gwistosorbet:
Sure
In reply to Trhod177:
Awesome! Finally a good ore mod for fabric, if you do it :)
In support of GemsPlusPlus - in the next updated version of the Ancient Warfare mod - ive introduced Gems Trader NPC's in our NPC markets and towns. If you have the Gems mod loaded, AW will spawn the traders and they sell and buy Gems in return for AW coins, as part of the AW trading system. It gives gem mining a whole new dimension.
In reply to MohawkyMagoo21228:
That's awesome.
Does this mod alter ore generation for vanilla ores in any way?
In reply to s_5_fifstee:
it dosent
Update 1.12.2 version
