Elemental Core
by QPIX Team
Elemental Core is a Forge world generation mod for Minecraft 1.16.5 that adds new minerals, ores and crafting materials to the Elemental series.
What it does
Elemental Core introduces new minerals that are used across the Elemental series. Its crafting recipes turn the minerals into gears, plates, ore powders and other materials that feed more complex crafts. Rose Quartz is one of the minerals added by the mod.
The mod is designed as a base for the rest of the series: it provides a shared foundation on which further content can build, so players who want a deeper crafting path have one to follow. Installation needs Forge for 1.16.5 only. Elemental Core runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

How it compares
Elemental Core is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 that runs on client and server and is not open source. NewToolsCraft is also a Forge mod for 1.16.5 running on client and server, and it is not open source either, but it adds tools rather than minerals. Elemental Dimensions targets Forge 1.10.2 – 1.12.2 and is open source under the MIT License, so it does not overlap in version range.
