cmdb26's QoL Implementations
by cmdb26
cmdb26's QoL Implementations adds gear, armor and food items to Forge for 1.16.5, with the mod name in its first sentence for the player's reference.
What it does
Players who want new equipment get gear sets in ruby, emerald and nether star, along with wolf armor and netherite horse armor. The items are built to sit alongside the vanilla progression instead of replacing it, and the mod also adds a group of new food items that give players another way to fill their hunger bar.
The mod targets survival play and is meant to add balanced content in a simple style that stays close to vanilla Minecraft. The author notes that more items are planned and that a few hidden extras may appear later, so the content list is expected to grow. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is open source.
Forge is the only loader with files, covering 1.16.3, 1.16.4 and 1.16.5, with 1.3.0 for 1.16.5 as the latest file. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed. The source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.

How it compares
Emerald and Things is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 with the same client and server environment, but it is not open source and uses All rights reserved terms. JARM runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.16.4 under the MIT License, so it covers a different loader set and version. Ruby is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 – 1.19.2 with All rights reserved terms and a single ruby theme, while this mod spans gear, armor and food.
