Ruby Tools and Armour
by HereLiesHugo
Ruby Tools and Armour, a Forge mod for 1.16.5, adds ruby tools and ruby armour to the game, with ruby ore generating from Y=0.
What it does
The mod adds ruby tools and a set of ruby armour pieces, and nothing beyond them. Ruby ore spawns from Y=0 downward, and diamonds are made slightly less rare. Crafting recipes use ruby handles in place of sticks, and the recipe images are included in the project. Installation requires only Forge, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.16.5 only, with 1.0.1 as the latest Forge file from 2025-06-21, and the mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
