Aluna's Ruby Tools
by alunaxyz
Aluna's Ruby Tools adds a set of ruby mining tools, including a 3×3 hammer, and a rare ruby ore that generates deep underground for players progressing through the mid game.
What it does
Ruby ore generates deep underground, and its drops are raw rubies that become the material for a complete kit of ruby tools. Ruby is described as a high-tier resource that is rarer than diamond. The tools outperform diamond equipment while remaining slightly below netherite in balance, so they sit between the two in the early and middle game.
The ore spawns at Y=-64 through Y=32, with one vein per chunk on average. Each vein holds 4 to 8 blocks, compared with 1 to 2 blocks per vein for diamonds. The custom ruby hammer can break a 3×3 area of blocks in one action, which suits tunneling and clearing large sections of rock. The mod is published for Fabric and needs Fabric API, and the server and every player need it, so the mod runs on client and server.
