FAQ
Q1: Can the replaced materials (Iron, Copper, Gold, Diamond, Emerald) be crafted into vanilla items/blocks?
A1: Yes - with the exception of firework stars for now.
Q2: How rare are the Precious Gems and Metals?
A2: Roughly speaking the Precious Gems and Metal ores replace vanilla Gold, Diamond and Emerald ores spawn rates. Native Rhodium and Native Palladium ores are generated much less.
Q3: How rare are the Other Metals?
A3: It varies with each Metal - Copper replaces the vanilla Copper ore spawn rate and the other metals replace various other blocks.
Q4: Where have the stats for the Gems and Metals come from?
A4: Stats for both Gems and Metals are based off real-life information such as Mohs Scale of Hardness.
Q5: Do all the "fancy" colour variants of Diamonds and Sapphires really exist?
A5: Yes - both have been found in pretty much every colour.
Trivia
- A Ruby is simply a Red Sapphire? Both gems are made from the same mineral and only differ in colour.
