What it does

Garnet & Golden adds a branch of blocks and items built around pink garnet. Ore appears in the stone and deepslate layers of the world, and mining it yields raw pink garnet, which can be stored in a raw block or refined into pink garnet and a pink garnet block. A golden leaf item and block complete the set. Client and server both need the mod, so a server and every player must install it.

The author wrote the mod as a first project while following a tutorial, then extended it with their own content. The source code is published on GitHub under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and updates are posted there and on Modrinth. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. Fabric API is needed to run it.

Key features

  1. Pink garnet ore

    Pink garnet ore generates in the stone layer and a deepslate variant in the deeper layer.

  2. Raw and refined garnet

    Mining the ore yields raw pink garnet, which is stored in a raw block and can be used to build pink garnet items and a pink garnet block.

  3. Golden leaf blocks

    A golden leaf item and block are included alongside the garnet materials, forming one themed branch.

  4. Author's learning project

    The content grew out of a tutorial the author followed, with later additions made independently.

How it compares

Full comparison

Pink Garnet Expansion Pack is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 with client and server environment, open source under the MIT License, so it covers the same versions. Pink Garnet Blocks is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 only, with client and server environment and no open source code. MarvelousMod targets 1.21.3 – 1.21.5 and runs client-side only, so it is not an option on these versions.
