Tanzanite
by DragoneK
Tanzanite is a Forge equipment mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a new gem, gear materials and a smithing template.
What it does
Tanzanite introduces the Tanzanite Gem as a new base material, from which the mod builds a Basic material tier for crafting. Tools, a sword, a scythe and armor are made from it, and netherite gear can be upgraded with tanzanite through a smithing template.
The mod is built for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with a single game version. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Just Enough Items (JEI) is an optional dependency that can show the new recipes. Tanzanite is published under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its latest file, 0.14, was released on 2024-09-27 on the beta channel.
Key features
Tanzanite Gem
A gem that serves as the starting material for the mod's new gear, obtained as a crafting base for the Basic tier.
Tanzanite weapons and tools
A Tanzanite Sword, a Tanzanite Scythe and matching tools use the new material in their crafting recipes.
Tanzanite armor
Armor pieces made from tanzanite complete the set alongside the weapons and tools.
Netherite upgrades
A Tanzanite Smithing Template upgrades netherite swords and other netherite gear, and the combination produces stronger equipment.

How it compares
Merlono's Scythes is a Forge scythe mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it is not limited by an All rights reserved claim. Odog's Gem Mod is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with client and server environment, licensed under All rights reserved, and it adds gems rather than a scythe focus. Tanzanite shares the Forge, 1.20.1 and client and server environment of both, and differs by adding a smithing template for netherite upgrades.
