What it does

Ruby ore is placed deep underground during world generation, so players have to dig for it. Mining it requires an iron pickaxe or better, and each block drops rubies when extracted. The ore gives the world a new resource that is not found in vanilla terrain.

Ruby tools cover almost the whole set of sword, pickaxe and shovel, and their durability and efficiency are set to be comparable with diamond. A complete set of ruby armor offers protection in line with diamond armor. The additions are client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is published for Forge in 1.20.1 only, with the latest file dated 2025-05-22.

The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. It was first published on 2025-05-08 by Calopsituuu, and it sits in the Food category with Equipment, World generation and Mobs as secondary categories.

How it compares

Full comparison

Rubies is also a Forge option for 1.20.1, with the client and server environment and an All rights reserved license, so it is not open source. Classic Ruby Mod shares the same Forge target, client and server environment and license for 1.20.1. Rare Rubies is a Forge mod for 1.18.2 instead, so its range does not overlap with 1.20.1.
