Emeralds Plus
by Mano-Craft
Emeralds Plus adds a full set of emerald armor, tools and an upgrade item to the Fabric loader for Minecraft 26.2 and 26.1.2.
What it does
The mod adds an Emerald Armor Set, an Emerald Tool Set, an Emerald Upgrade and an Emerald Upgrade Smithing Template. Its balance places emerald gear between diamond and netherite: emerald pieces are stronger than diamond, while diamond is slightly weaker than netherite. The Emerald Upgrade converts diamond tools and diamond armor into emerald variants, and the author describes the progression as suited to the middle and late game.
Each tool has its own role. The emerald sword is a stronger alternative to the diamond sword, the axe sits between diamond and netherite, the upgraded pickaxe mines faster than diamond, and the shovel improves durability and mining speed. A farming tool made of emerald is also included. The emerald shield is a stronger option than the vanilla shield, and it can block one tick before landing to take no fall damage. Multibreak enchantment mines several blocks around the target, and the enchantment reaches level 5.
The mod requires Fabric API. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it is published for Fabric only, in 2 release versions: 26.1.2 and 26.2. Its files are under a custom license and it is not open source. The source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. The author notes say the mod works with Village Loot Integration.
