Cat's Gems
by CatBeanGod
Cat's Gems is a Forge equipment mod that gives players gems, each granting a different superpower when worn or used.
What it does
Cat's Gems adds a set of gems, each one granting its own power. The available gems are Spirit, Flame, Frost, Venom, Swiftness and Life, along with the upgraded Spirit EX and Flame EX. A gem is taken up as equipment, so its power applies while the gem is carried or equipped, and the powers vary from one gem to the next.
The mod runs on client and server, so a server needs it installed and every player connecting to it has to run it as well. It is published for Forge only, with a single game version: 1.20.1. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2024-07-29. The first file appeared on 2024-06-16. The code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.
