What it does

Vanilla emeralds have few uses, and this mod adds equipment and other content that draws on them, so a player who collects emeralds has more to make. The current release adds emerald tools and emerald armor, and the author lists an emerald totem, an emerald statue, emerald food and a set of fun tools as planned additions that are not in the 1.0.0 build yet.

Emerald Expansion is a small mod, and its two loader files are for Forge and NeoForge. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover game versions 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest release on both loaders, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Tools made from emeralds

    Tools made from emeralds, which give the gem a practical role in mining and building.

  2. Emerald armor

    A set of armor pieces crafted from emeralds, for players who want a green gear option.

  3. Planned totem and statue

    The author plans an emerald totem and an emerald statue as decorative and utility items, but they are not in the current build.

  4. Planned food and fun tools

    Emerald food and a group of fun tools are listed as upcoming content, with no release date given in the author text.

How it compares

Full comparison

Emerald Items is another Forge and NeoForge option for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, released under the MIT License rather than All rights reserved. Pandawii's Emerald Tools runs only on 1.21.5, so it does not overlap with the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 files here. Enhanced emeralds is a Forge-only mod for 1.20.1, released under All rights reserved.

What the author says

Emerald Expansion is a small mod designed to give emeralds a second life. In Minecraft, emeralds have very little use, but with this mod, you'll be able to add content to them, like armor, tools and more. A lot of content will be arriving soon!!
