Garnet & Golden
by ARandomShow
Garnet & Golden is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1 that adds pink garnet ore, raw garnet, garnet and golden leaf blocks and items.
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
Pink garnet ore
Pink garnet ore generates in the stone layer and a deepslate variant in the deeper layer.
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.
Golden leaf blocks
A golden leaf item and block are included alongside the garnet materials, forming one themed branch.

Who it’s for: Players who want a small pink garnet and golden leaf block set on Fabric 1.21 or 1.21.1, and modders who want to read a beginner's Fabric project in its source.
How it compares
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.
