Doruk's Emerald Plus
by DorukkDev
Doruk's Emerald Plus turns emeralds from a trade currency into the material for an armor set, a toolset and a utility tier that sits between iron and diamond gear.
What it does
The mod adds a set of emerald armor and emerald tools, plus expanded utility items that use stored emeralds. Its stated aim is to give emeralds a practical combat and survival purpose beyond trading with villagers, where they often sit in chests unused. Each piece is meant to be a stepping stone between standard iron equipment and late-game diamond equipment.
Emerald gear is described as offering stronger protection than iron, a vivid green look, faster mining and higher damage than iron tools. Doruk's Emerald Plus is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 only, released by DorukkDev, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
