ExtraGems
ExtraGems adds ruby, sapphire, amethyst, topaz and crystal materials, with gem tools, weapons, armor and blocks, for players who want more gem-based gear in a world.
What it does
The gems are mined as ores and worked into tools, weapons and armor. Their durability sits close to diamond and their enchantability is the highest among the materials, with small differences between each variant. Trimmable armor pieces use the gem materials, and a set of blocks and amulets extends the content beyond equipment. Amulets carry side effects, and the blocks can be used in beacons.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge and needs Magma Core to load. Both the server and every player need it, so the environment is client and server. Builds cover 1.12 – 1.21.10 with 31 release versions, and the latest Forge file is v.2.3.3 for 1.20.4 while the latest NeoForge file is v.5.0.0 for 1.21.10. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source. Public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.
Key features
Six gem materials
Emerald, ruby, sapphire, amethyst, topaz and crystal each come with their own tool and weapon set.
Amulets with side effects
Amulets are crafted items that give their wearer effects beyond the stats of the gem they are made from.
Trimmable armor
The gem armor supports armor trims, so each piece can take a trim pattern in the smithing table.

How it compares
Gems and Crystals is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it covers loaders ExtraGems does not. Simply Gems - Ruby is NeoForge only for 1.21 and is not open source, a narrower option for one gem. New Ores and Armors is Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, with the same client and server environment as ExtraGems.
