Diamond Expansion
by M-Station
Diamond Expansion adds more diamond-based content to Minecraft Java Edition, covering diamond building blocks, upgraded glowstone and several diamond foods.
What it does
The mod adds diamond block stairs, slabs, walls and pillars, so diamond can be used in more building shapes than the plain block. Upgraded glowstone is included as well, and the author describes the mod as filling a gap, since diamond has less content than other ores in the base game.
Its food items include a diamond apple that restores 3 hunger bar points and briefly grants Strength II and Night Vision II. An enchanted diamond apple restores 4.5 hunger bar points and grants Strength II, Night Vision II and Speed II for a short time. A diamond carrot is also part of the food set, and recipes are part of the feature set.
The mod is Forge only, with a single file for 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
