Rubinated Nether
Rubinated Nether is a Team Corundum Magic mod that brings Minecraft's scrapped Ruby into a revamped Nether, with new utility and decoration blocks.
What it does
Rubies are found inside the Nether, near lava oceans and beneath the Nether roof, close to Piglin Bastions. A Diamond Pickaxe is needed to harvest them. A Freezer turns molten Rubies into Ice variants, using Magma Cream and Slimeballs, and Magma Blocks and Obsidian are also part of the progression. Freezing Snow yields Frosted Ice, which cannot be obtained otherwise.
The mod overhauls Piglin bartering and the Rubination enchantment, which improves other enchantments at a costly downside. It adds the Sacred Shrine, a Nether trial chamber, along with the Bronze Sentinel and other mobs, and a Wrought bullet-hell boss fight. Nether and Dimensional Reactors and several utility and decoration blocks round out the content. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under a Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license that does not make it open source.
Key features
Ruby Laser
A crafted laser detects entities and blocks along its path, and its output grows stronger the closer the target is.
Tinted mode
Right-clicking the laser switches it to Tinted mode, so it detects only blocks and entities and produces no redstone output.
Glass and lenses
Placing glass in front of the laser makes the beam visible, Stained Glass tints it, and Ruby Lenses worn on the head reveal it.
Soakstones and glass
Soakstones absorb lava like a sponge, and Ruby Glass makes a blast-proof window.
Rubinated obsidian
Right-clicking Crying Obsidian with a Ruby Shard rubinates it, and breaking Rubies gives Ruby Shards for a more efficient way to barter with Piglins.
