Extra Ruby
by cynwale
Extra Ruby adds a Ruby material to Forge 1.20.1, with tools, armor, ore and a Ruby-Netherite upgrade path built through the smithing table.
What it does
Ruby ore appears as a Ruby Vein that players carve with silex, and the vein yields Ruby Gemstones at the smithing table. Ruby Ameliorator is crafted from Ruby Gemstones and a Netherite Ingot, and Netherite Armor pieces combined with it produce Ruby-Netherite Armor. The mod also adds Ruby Ore, Ruby Block and Ruby Gemstone items so the material can be used in ordinary recipes.
The mod is a single MCreator build modeled on vanilla tool and armor behavior, using textures adapted from the Pure Emerald Tools mod. It adds ten tools and two armor sets, one Ruby and one Ruby-Netherite. The Ruby set is not trimmed in the way vanilla diamond gear is, and the Ruby tools sit between diamond and netherite in the numbers below.
Extra Ruby is for Forge 1.20.1 only, and the environment is client and server, so players and the server both need it. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.0.6, published on 2025-01-28.
Key features
Ruby tools
A Ruby pickaxe, sword, axe, shovel and hoe share one diamond-level tier with a durability that cannot burn in fire.
Ruby and Ruby-Netherite armor
Two armor sets are provided: a full Ruby set and a Ruby-Netherite set made by upgrading Netherite Armor with Ruby Ameliorator.
Crafting progression
Each Ruby item has a smithing or crafting recipe, starting from silex on a Ruby Vein and ending with the Ruby-Netherite upgrade.

Rubies by Mr.Koteyka is a Forge 1.20.1 mod with the same client and server environment, but it is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Ruby additions is another Forge 1.20.1 option, also client and server and under All rights reserved. Extra Ruby is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so its content can be reused without a restriction on the license.

What the author says
This simple mod made in MCreator using both Pure Emerald Tools and Minecraft modified textures adds consistent Ruby equipment in the Game, it should normally be bug-free for very obvious reasons. You should use J.E.I or R.E.I to get the exact recipes, but you shouldn't have trouble guessing them.
