SnurfTech's Emerald Update
by SnurfTech
SnurfTech's Emerald Update adds emerald tools and armor to NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.8.
What it does
Players get emerald versions of the usual tools and armor pieces, which can be crafted and used in the game. The recipes follow the same patterns as those for normal tools and armor, with emerald taking the place of the material that diamond would normally fill. The mod is built with MCreator and is released under the MIT License as open source. Only NeoForge 1.21.8 files are listed, and the environment is client and server, so players and the server both need it.
Key features
Emerald gear
Pickaxes, axes, shovels and other tools made from emerald, crafted like their vanilla counterparts.
Emerald armor
Helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots made from emerald, adding a set of protective gear to the game.
Vanilla-style recipes
