Global Emeralds

In vanilla Minecraft, emerald ore only generates in the Extreme Hills biomes. This mod extends emerald ore spawning to additional Overworld biomes, and its world generation otherwise follows the same rules as the vanilla ore, except for the biome list. Generation replaces stone, granite, diorite and andesite between Y-levels 4 and 31, with one ore per group placed in each chunk.

Global Emeralds runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the most recent Fabric build at 1.16.54 for 1.16.5 and the most recent NeoForge build at 1.2.0 for 1.21.1. The mod's own game versions run 1.12.2 – 1.21.5, with files covering 22 release versions. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved.

The emerald ore block keeps its vanilla name and texture and drops the same items. Its recipes use the forge:ores/emerald tag, so modpacks that already use that tag can pick up the ore without changes. The mod does not add armor, tools, dogs or spaceships despite what some of its notes suggest, and it adds nothing else to the game beyond emerald ore spawning in Overworld biomes.
