Description

Gemstone Ores

This mod adds 8 new ores and materials to Minecraft , each with unique tools, armor, and decorative options.

Added Materials/Set of equipment :

  • Emerald — Balanced gem with good enchantability
  • Amethyst — Common purple gem, excellent enchantability but lower durability
  • Copper — Fully craftable version following latest vanilla copper behavior
  • Ruby — Powerful red gem with high damage found in the deeps of minecraft
  • Aquamarine — Bright cyan gem that spawns in all Overworld biomes, but much more commonly in aquatic biomes (oceans, rivers, beaches, etc.)
  • Spinel — A pinkish-purple gem that spawns in the Nether wherever basalt is present. It has the same durability as netherite, making it extremely tough and long-lasting.
  • Lead (Plumbum)Purely decorative metal. Generates like copper in most biomes, with large veins in Mangrove Swamps. Includes blocks, slabs, and stairs.
  • Osmium — Strong metal better than Iron in damage and durability. Slower mining speed. Armor offers high durability and knockback resistance. Generates in all Overworld biomes with higher chance in Taiga.

Most materials allow you to craft full sets of tools (Sword, Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe) and armor (Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots) with their own distinct statistics.

Future Plans:

More ores and materials will be added in future updates.

If you like mining variety and meaningful material choices, Gemstone Ores is a great addition to your game!
