Amethyst expansion
by jeancrafteo
With Amethyst Expansion, amethyst gains uses in survival through new armor, tools, weapons, food, decorations, a custom enchantment, a collectible painting and generated ruins.
What it does
The expansion is a datapack that adds a full set of amethyst armor and tools, three new weapons, and a set of Dark Amethyst items. Amethyst Ruins are generated in the world so that players have a place to explore and find the new gear. Decorative panel blocks and a custom food item round out the content, along with a custom enchantment and a collectible painting.
The author describes it as a lightweight expansion built to stay close to vanilla, so amethyst can serve as a real progression resource while the core gameplay stays recognizable. Installation needs Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt as the loader, since the datapack is also offered for server platforms. The server must run it, while clients may leave it out.
