Luigite - Need For Speed
by Luigichopper
Luigite is an edible gem mod for Fabric and NeoForge that adds a speed-boosting gemstone, its ores, storage block and foods to the game for 1.21.4.
What it does
Between Y=-16 and Y=112, Luigite ore spawns across the overworld, most densely in the middle layers, and a deepslate form turns up lower down. Its rarity is similar to copper. Nine gems can be crafted into a storage block that works as a beacon base, and each gem grants Speed II for a brief period when consumed.
Cleric villagers at the apprentice and journeyman levels offer Luigite gems, Luigite apples and Luigite items in trades for emeralds, so the economy stays balanced with vanilla trading. A Luigite apple grants Speed II for nine times as long as a gem, and a Totem Speed item grants the effect while held in the offhand. Animated Totem of Undying is an optional dependency.
The mod is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It runs on the client and server together, since the new blocks, items and world generation must exist on both sides. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.4 only.
Key features
Luigite ore
Ore generates in the overworld and in a deepslate variant in deeper parts of the world.
Luigite gems and storage
Gems grant a short Speed II effect when eaten, and nine gems craft into a storage block.
Luigite apples
Apples grant Speed II for nine times as long as a gem, suited to long exploration trips.
Cleric trades
Apprentice and journeyman clerics sell Luigite items for emeralds, so the gems can be bought without mining.
