Emerald Pack Expansion
by bearnovichok
Emerald Pack Expansion adds a full set of emerald armor, tools and weapons, plus villager trades and an advancement tree for obtaining them.
What it does
Emerald Pack Expansion adds a complete set of emerald gear: armor pieces that give high protection with a green look, and a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe. Emeralds serve here as a crafting material for equipment whose durability falls in the range of diamond and netherite, so the gear works as an intermediate tier rather than a replacement for either.
Items can also be obtained from specialized villagers through high-level trades, which connects the pack to the Villager Integration mod. A separate advancement tree tracks progress through the pack's items and trades, so players can see which pieces remain to be obtained. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source.
