What it does

The mod introduces a new red gem that is mined from newly generated ruby ores. From the gem the player can craft a full set of ruby tools, covering a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe, along with a helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots. Its tools are meant to sit alongside standard vanilla gear without overpowering it, and its textures are a deep crystalline red that stands out in the hotbar. The author describes the mod as a Vanilla+ expansion that fills an ore gap without changing core mechanics.

Ruby Keeper is a hostile guardian that protects the rubies and drops unique loot when defeated. Players are advised to prepare their gear before seeking it out. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.8, and it runs on the client and the server, so both need it. It uses standard NeoForge tags, which the author says supports compatibility with other ore mods.

Key features

  1. Ruby ores and gem

    New ruby ores generate in the world and yield a shining red gem used as the base material for crafting.

  2. Ruby tools

    A complete toolset with a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe adds a higher tier to the mining and combat progression.

  3. Ruby armor

    Helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots made from the red gem give players a distinctive look without dyes or leather.

  4. Ruby Keeper boss

    A hostile guardian protects the rubies and drops unique loot when defeated, rewarding preparation with better gear.
