What it does

Emeralds become the material for armour pieces and tools, which players craft alongside the vanilla options. The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds exist for Fabric and NeoForge across the game versions 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, with 1.2.0 as the latest file. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Emerald armour

    Armour pieces made from emeralds, placed between iron and diamond in the crafting progression.

  2. Crafted emerald gear

    Tools crafted from emeralds join the armour, giving the material a practical role beyond trading.

  3. Simple additions

    The mod adds only new emerald recipes and items, without changing other parts of the game.
