Crystal Odyssey
by reasure3
Crystal Odyssey adds a set of magical gems to NeoForge 1.21.1, each one used to craft tools, lanterns and other items that help players explore and build.
What it does
Gems are found in the world, mined deep underground, or crafted by smelting glowstone. Each gem is tied to a theme: a gem found in the Overworld strengthens water-related enchantments on tools, while one mined deep underground powers fire-related items and enchantments. The Glowstone Gem feeds into lantern-based light tools.
Crystal Odyssey also adds utility items. The Wand El Dorado can scan a chosen area for ore, with its search radius set in the config, and infinite buckets can be crafted from sapphire or ruby, holding large quantities of water or lava and upgrading to unlimited versions. Mana Anvil and Mana Injector are used to craft enchanted books and magical tools. The mod needs Kotlin for Forge, and Curios API is optional. Curios API Continuation is incompatible.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Its latest NeoForge file is 1.0.3 for 1.21.1, published 2025-03-28 on the beta channel, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source.
