Ruby above netherite
by TheGabo56
Ruby above netherite is a world generation mod that places a ruby mineral in the Nether, and the ruby can be crafted into armor, tools and weapons.
What it does
The ruby mineral generates in the Nether dimension between Y levels 5 and 31, where it appears as a double ore. Once mined, a ruby yields a ruby scrap that joins a crafting table recipe with diamond, and the ruby ingot is obtained through a recipe modeled on the netherite ingot. Ruby can be used to make armor, tools and weapons at a crafting table. The ruby armor has a durability one point higher than netherite armor.
The mod is distributed for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.17.1 – 1.21.8, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source. The latest builds are version 5.5.0 for 1.21.8 on Fabric and NeoForge and 5.5.0 for 1.20.1 on Forge, all dated 2026-01-03.
