Emerald tools
by GamerOnGit
Emerald tools adds emerald versions of the standard tool set, which players craft and use in place of iron or diamond gear.
What it does
Players craft the emerald tools from emerald ingots, and each tool is listed among the rarest items the mod provides. Crafting one emerald tool is required before an emerald ingot can be made, so the ingot becomes part of the recipe chain. Villagers also trade the emerald ingot as a new item. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.16.5, under the Apache License 2.0, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Emerald tool set
Craftable emerald versions of the standard tools, used in the same way as the tools they replace.
Emerald ingot recipe
An emerald ingot is needed to craft further items, so one emerald tool must be made first.
Villager trades
Villagers offer the emerald ingot as a trade, adding a new source for the material alongside mining.
