GemCraft

by mazen9996

GemCraft adds gem ores, gem blocks and matching items to a Fabric game on 26.2, so gems can be mined and placed like diamonds.

What it does

Gem ores generate in the overworld, and variants of ruby and sapphire ore appear in deepslate, the Nether and the End. Mined gems can be stored in block form, such as a Ruby Block or a Sapphire Block, which is useful for building and for keeping a stash compact. The added blocks follow the same pattern as vanilla ores, so the mod fits into existing mining routines without new mechanics.

Both players and server owners need the mod, because it runs on client and server together. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 26.2 only, with the 0.1.1-26.2 file as the latest release. The code is covered by the MIT License, and the project is not open source. The author team is mazen9996, and the mod is listed under Magic, Equipment and World generation.

The gem blocks and ores are the main content. Because the mod targets a single game version, a server on another version cannot load it, and a world that uses it should stay on 26.2.
