Precious Ores(Sapphire)

by NASSER

Precious Ores (Sapphire) generates a sapphire ore in the overworld, and the gems it yields can be smelted and crafted into sapphire tools for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1.

ForgeClient and serverMIT License1.20.1

What it does

Sapphire Ore appears naturally in the overworld, deep underground, where it shimmers as a blue gem block. Breaking it yields sapphire gems, which can be smelted to produce refined gems that feed into new tools. The sapphire tools sit above iron in durability and fall slightly below diamond, so they serve as a mid-tier step in the progression.

Custom textures and models are included, and the ore and tools are meant to sit alongside vanilla gameplay rather than replace it. The mod is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 and no other loader or version is published. Players need it installed on the client, and the server must run it too, because the ore generates on the server and the tools are recognized there. The code is licensed under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Sapphire ore generation

    Sapphire ore spawns naturally in the overworld, placed deep underground where players look for rare resources.

  2. Sapphire gems and smelting

    Broken sapphire ore drops gems, and smelting the ore produces the refined sapphire gems used in crafting.

  3. Sapphire tools

    Pickaxes, swords and other sapphire tools are craftable, with stronger durability than iron and slightly below diamond.

  4. Vanilla-style textures

    Custom textures and models were made to match the look and feel of vanilla blocks and items.
