by KuukiKookie

Carbink Gemstone Variations is a Fabric data pack that gives the Carbink mob gemstone forms based on vanilla ores, so players can see them as ore-themed variants.

What it does

Carbink Gemstone Variations adds new visual forms to the Carbink mob. Each form is based on a single vanilla ore that rarely appears in the wild, including coal, iron, gold, diamond, copper, lapis, redstone, emerald, amethyst and nether quartz, and several are linked to deepslate or Nether ores such as nether gold and gilded blackstone. A Carbink takes on the ore-based form it evolves with.

Using the variations requires a Silk Touch pickaxe to collect the ore blocks first, and the pack depends on the resource pack and data pack being enabled in the world. Installation means copying the files into the Resource Packs and Data Packs folders of a world save, then enabling the resource pack upon entering that world through its settings. The data pack is listed as available for Fabric, and it needs no client-side install.

Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.1. Servers must run it, while players may leave it out. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It was made as a collaboration between KuukiKookie and Nimbosaur.

What the author says

It adds forms for every single vanilla ore in minecraft, which you can rarely find in the wild around the ore associated with it, or evolve a carbink into it. However, you may need a Silk Touch pickaxe first! Netherbink - Use Nether Gold Ore OR Gilded Blackstone on Carbink
