Emerald But More Functional
by cemalmuaz11
Emerald But More Functional gives the emerald gem tools and armor, adding a set of weapons and an armor made of iron between two layers of diamond.
What it does
The mod's stated purpose is to make emerald usable as a material for equipment. Its tools currently cover the sword, axe, shovel, hoe and pickaxe, and the armor is built with an iron layer set between two diamond layers. Utilities were added two weeks after release, and the armor's durability and damage absorption are the values the author lists.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.5. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.
