CrystalForge
by flizz955
CrystalForge adds five new ores for Forge, each generating at its own height band, along with armor sets and tools made from them.
What it does
Five ores are added to the overworld: Azurite generates between Y -64 and 64 and is the most common, which makes it a practical start for a new world. Crimsonite spawns from Y -32 to 48, Emberite from Y 10 to 120, Celestium from Y 20 to 80, and Voidstone from Y -64 to -32, where it is rare and sits in the hidden depths. Each ore has its own character, from balanced crimson hues to Emberite's Nether-derived burning essence.
Each material can be crafted into a complete arsenal of standard tools, meaning a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe, plus a special tool, and into a full armor set. Voidstone armor and tools are described as the strongest of the group, and Celestium armor offers the most balanced protection, while the Emberite set is specialized for the Nether.
The mod is published for Forge only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its license is MIT, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Five new ores
Azurite, Crimsonite, Emberite, Celestium and Voidstone generate in the overworld, each within its own height range.
Crafted tool sets
Each ore yields a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe and a special tool, and the special tool mines a 3x3 area.
Armor with set bonuses
Wearing every piece of a material's armor activates a bonus suited to that material, from maximum defense regeneration to night vision.
Crystal-based progression
Materials are gathered by depth, so exploring deeper layers opens access to stronger gear as the player descends.

Powers via crystal runs on Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 and is also closed in license. Tool Levels is Forge-only for 1.20.1 and covers tool progression rather than new ores. CrystalForge is limited to Forge and its own range.
