New Diamonds
New Diamonds adds eight diamond colors to Minecraft Forge 1.20.1, each with its own tool and armor set.
What it does
Each new diamond color comes with a full set of tools and armor, so the colored ore can be used for gear as well as for crafting. The diamonds generate in the world between levels 10 and 64, with each color tied to a biome: red in the Badlands, orange in taiga biomes, green in jungles and purple in mountains. Pink, yellow, white and black diamonds appear anywhere in that depth range. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Only the 1.20.1 Forge build is published, and the author lists it as a standalone mod separate from the larger Cal's Extra Gems project.
