Due to issues on CurseForge's end, the Shaderpack has to be downloaded separately. Please go here to download it:

(This shaderpack is not made by me, it just fits the game nicely)

 

Vanilla Enhancements

A modular expansion of Minecraft's base game tools, armor, and mechanics – fully lore-friendly, fully fun.

This mod pack combines Emerald, Lapis, Coal, and Redstone Enhancements into a single, cohesive upgrade to the vanilla experience. Each material adds uniquely themed gear, with special abilities, balanced stats, and immersive mechanics:

  • Emerald Gear brings top-tier tools and armor with passive XP boosts, built-in Fortune, and ore-detection when crouching in full armor. Villager-related features tie directly into gameplay!
  • Lapis Gear grants light-to-mid-tier equipment with automatic enchantments on craft and enchanting synergy that boosts future gear potential.
  • Coal Gear is early-game friendly with fire-immune armor and smelting tools. Toggle abilities on tools let you cook mobs, ores, and blocks directly while draining durability.
  • Redstone Gear features charged abilities powered by nearby Redstone, allowing 3x3 mining, tree-felling, AOE farming, and redstone pulse combat—complete with visual charge meters.

Every set is tailored for a different stage of gameplay and integrates naturally into your survival world without replacing vanilla content. Recipes stay intuitive, but new effects and mechanics elevate your play.

Install client & server-side for the full experience.
Compatible with Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.4+.

    This mod adds new Emerald Crafting Items - Tools, Armour, and special abilities associated with them! This has a very Vanilla-style feel to it (on purpose), and turns Emeralds into true Late-Game items! Villagers now use "Trading Gems"
