Emerald Armor
by Tncnd
Emerald Armor adds a full set of emerald tools, weapons and armor to Fabric, so players can put emeralds to use beyond trading with villagers.
What it does
Emerald Armor adds an emerald version of each vanilla tool and weapon, including a sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe, plus a helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots. Each piece can be crafted from emeralds, so the whole collection can be built in survival without any command or creative tools.
Wearing an emerald armor piece reduces the emerald cost of villager trades by one. Wearing the full set adds a further set bonus. The mod is aimed at players who rely on villagers for trading, especially in large trading halls, and it is intended to sit alongside vanilla progression on survival worlds and multiplayer servers.
Emerald Armor requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric only. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21.11 only, with v2.2 as the latest file, published on 2026-07-07 after a first release on 2026-07-05. The code is licensed as All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
