EmpyreanOres

Sapphire and Opal are the mod's new gems. Opal ore can only be broken with Sapphire tools, which in turn demand gear at the diamond tier before they can be made. Adamantite is crafted by combining the new materials, except Aluminum, on a crafting table, then smelted into an Adamantite Ingot. Steel is made from iron ingots and coal, and the mod sorts it into low-carbon, mid-carbon and high-carbon grades, each used for a different purpose: structural blocks, armor and tool crafting.

The mod is aimed at players who want stronger gear for modpacks and survival worlds. Vanilla materials are swapped for modded ones inside familiar recipes, and a table in the mod ranks the new minerals beside the vanilla ones. Mining and crafting only work as described in the author notes, so players should check the recipes in-game before planning a run.

Files are published for Forge only, for 1.18.1 and 1.19.2. The latest file, 1.4-1.18.1, targets 1.18.1 and was released on 2023-09-20. Both sides must run the mod, so servers and players install it together. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, though public source code links exist.
