Emerald Craft
Emerald Craft, a Forge world generation mod, adds villager professions, job site blocks and new biomes that give emeralds a larger role in trading.
What it does
Nine new villager professions are added, each tied to a job site block: the Carpentry Table for carpenters, the Glass Kiln for glaziers, the Mineral Table for miners, the Crystalball Table for astrologers, the Squeezer for beekeepers, the Continuous Miner for geologists and the Ice Maker for icers. Growers use a vanilla flower pot as their job site. The job site blocks interact with players, so a villager's trades can be reached through them.
Emeralds gain more uses: melted ores from emerald-bearing deposits can be crafted into items, and trading with villagers becomes more useful. The mod also adds trades with some Nether mobs, such as the Piglin Cutey, the Nether Pigman and the Nether Lambman, and it adds 14 biomes, including Dead Crimson Ocean, Xanadu, Ginkgo Forest, Petunia Plains and Volcanic Caves. A large set of decoration blocks is included for building more detailed structures.
The mod requires TerraBlender, with separate versions for Minecraft 1.18.x and 1.19.x. The new recipes and categories show up in JEI. The mod runs on Forge and is open source under the MIT License. Its files cover 1.16.5 – 1.20.2, with 9.1.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge release.
