Amethyst Tools
by Kamorzy
Amethyst Tools, by Kamorzy, puts a vanilla-style amethyst tool set between iron and diamond, crafted from amethyst clusters on Fabric and Quilt.
What it does
The tool set sits between iron and diamond in strength, and its mining level is high enough for iron but not for obsidian. Tools are made from clusters that come out of the crystal blocks, and a steady supply of them comes from a budding block broken with a pickaxe, which yields one cluster each time.
Enchantability is higher than most other tool materials, and the stats were tuned so the set keeps a distinct identity without matching diamond. Armor is deliberately left out to avoid bloat, and a spear is listed as work in progress. The mod requires Fabric API. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Builds cover 1.19.2 – 26.1.2 across Fabric and Quilt.
Key features
Amethyst tool set
Pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe and sword tools modeled on the vanilla tool set, with amethyst as the head material.
Crafting from clusters
Tools are crafted from amethyst clusters, so mining the crystals in caves is the path to the set.
Budding block drops
Breaking a budding amethyst block with a pickaxe yields one amethyst cluster, giving a dependable source.
High enchantability
The material enchants more readily than most other tool materials, which makes enchanted amethyst tools a focus.

What the author says
Its stats fit between iron and diamond, with some careful tuning to give it a unique identity as a material. Less impactful additions, such as armor, are purposely left out to avoid unnecessary bloat to the game. I like the gameplay loop with it. It feels like there are some hoops to jump through that justify the…
