Tales of Glimmerite
by NeverWin77
Tales of Glimmerite is a world generation and adventure mod for 1.20.1 that adds caves, ores, tools, armor and items built around a rare mineral called Glimmerite.
What it does
Caves that open deep underground hold new ores, so exploring the lower layers of a world leads to finds that vanilla terrain does not offer. The Glimmerite material is the core of the content, with enchanted Glimmerite Ore appearing among the new ore blocks. New tools and armor are crafted from the material, and new items are added for players to collect and use.
Fountains generated around the world hold chests with resources, giving travelers a stopping point along the way. Merchants offer new exchanges, and the mod adds achievements that track progress through the added content. Tales of Glimmerite requires Fabric API on every loader it supports, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge with the 0.26 beta file for 1.20.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is under a custom license and is not open source.
