Chrysolite & ruby
by gid27507
Chrysolite & ruby adds two new precious crystals, rubies and chrysolites, along with a set of tools crafted from them for mining and combat on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Rubies are dark red crystals found in mountain biomes, and chrysolites are golden-green crystals. Both are mined and used as materials for a complete set of pickaxes, swords and axes. The tools are meant to sit alongside Minecraft's existing progression, with durability close to diamond and damage close to netherite, so they suit hard minerals and mixed combat tasks.
The mod is a Forge build for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source. Latest file is 1.0.6 for 1.20.1, published 2025-08-28, after a first release on 2025-08-27.
Among the catalog's other ruby and tool mods, Classic Ruby Mod, Rubies by Mr.Koteyka and Tools and armor also run on Forge for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment and the same All rights reserved license, so they are the closest comparison.

How it compares
Classic Ruby Mod is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment and All rights reserved license, and it focuses on ruby content. Tools and armor is also Forge for 1.20.1, with the same environment and license, and covers a broader set of tools and armor rather than two crystals. Rubies by Mr.Koteyka shares the Forge 1.20.1 target and the same license, and adds rubies alongside its own items.
