Emeralds to Rubies
by CubingXT
Emeralds to Rubies swaps emerald and ruby roles in vanilla content, so ores, trades and loot that once used emeralds now use rubies instead.
What it does
The mod restores a ruby-based economy modeled on how emeralds originally appeared in the game. Changes reach ores, the beacon GUI, the totem of undying, eye of ender recipes, hero of the village symbols, armor trims and similar items. A bonus type gives players rubies or emeralds through give commands. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for seven game versions, 1.21.8 – 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
