EmeraldsEquipment+
by Multiverse
EmeraldsEquipment+ adds emerald tools, weapons and armor that players can craft from emeralds, with stats set between iron and diamond.
What it does
Players who want gear made from emeralds can craft emerald armor, swords, axes, pickaxes, shovels and hoes. The emerald sword deals 6.5 attack damage, placing it between iron and diamond, and the emerald axe reaches 9.5 attack damage. The tools and armor are tuned to be sturdier than iron and slightly weaker than diamond, and they take enchantments more readily, with an enchantability of 20.
Both sides must run the mod, so the server and every player need it installed. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge across six game versions: 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with 1.0.5 for 1.19.4 as the latest Forge file and 1.1.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest NeoForge file. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Emerald armor set
A full set of emerald armor pieces provides protection between the iron and diamond tiers.
Emerald gear line
Pickaxes, shovels, hoes, swords and axes made from emerald, with durability above iron.
Enchantability of 20
Emerald gear takes enchantments better than iron and diamond, so enchanting it is a practical option.
Balanced attack values
The emerald sword and axe sit at fixed damage values, 6.5 and 9.5, chosen to fall in the middle of the existing tiers.
