Sapphire tools
by stachu136
Sapphire Tools adds a sapphire ore that generates deep underground, and a set of tools, armor and blocks made from the gem.
What it does
Sapphire ore generates between roughly 0 and 20 blocks below the surface, so players reach it while digging for other resources. Mining it yields sapphires, which are crafted into tools that the mod describes as more durable and more effective than their iron counterparts, making them suited to exploration and mining. A diamond or netherite pickaxe is needed to break the ore.
The mod is built for Fabric and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 across eight release versions, and the latest Fabric build, 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, is marked as an alpha release. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. The author plans further updates, which are not described in detail.
