safe-armor
by StringOD
safe-armor adds emerald-crafted armor, weapons and tools to Forge 1.18.2, with a durability and enchantment profile the author describes as stronger than the lower-tier alloys.
What it does
Players who want emerald gear in the 1.18.2 world can craft armor, weapons and tools from emerald. The author describes the pieces as fireproof and shiny, with an enchanted look, and gives them more durability, enchantability, toughness and knockback resistance than the lower boundary alloy. Stats are set by the mod's own configuration.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, with 1.0.0 for 1.18.2 as the single release, under the MIT License; the code is not open source. The author warns that the module can break game balance and asks users to add it with caution. The author also notes that the integration package is too difficult for a quick try, so the standalone install is the easier route.
Key features

Emerald weapons and tools
Swords, axes, pickaxes and other tools made from emerald join the armor as a matching set.
Fireproof and enchanted look

Stronger stats

Use cases
Mid-game upgrade
Players who have reached diamond-level gear can use the emerald set as a step between iron and netherite.
Server progression
Server owners who want a new equipment tier can add the mod and let players craft its pieces with materials they collect.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on Forge 1.18.2 who want an emerald equipment tier. Because the author warns the module can affect balance, owners should test it before a public launch.
How it compares
More Equipment targets Forge 1.18.2 as well, is client and server, and is released as All rights reserved, so its license is more restrictive than the MIT License here. Emerald Utilities also targets Forge 1.18.2 and is client and server, but is published under the Apache License 2.0 and adds a different set of utility items. Armor_plus is for Forge 1.16.5 and therefore does not match this 1.18.2 build.
