Emerald tools & Armor
Emerald Armor Tools adds a full set of emerald tools and armor for NeoForge 1.21.4, giving the emerald a use beyond trading.
What it does
The mod adds emerald swords, pickaxes, axes, shovels and hoes, along with a full set of emerald armor. Its pieces are built to offer high durability and protection, and the recipes follow the pattern of the diamond gear, with emeralds taking the place of diamonds.
Using the emerald pickaxe grants special effects, so the tools have passive abilities in addition to their mining role. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.4, and the latest is 6.9.9 from 2025-07-23. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
