by Fooze

The Gems Project adds gem-based progression to Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, with items that players collect and use as they advance.

ForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20 – 1.20.1

What it does

The mod is a progression addition built around gems, and it needs Curios API alongside Forge. Gems are gathered and used in a sequence that ties the player's advancement to the items they hold. Only the 1.20 and 1.20.1 game versions have files, and the latest Forge file targets 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Gem progression

    Gems are tied to a progression path, so the items a player holds reflect how far they have advanced.

  2. Curios integration

    Gem items use Curios API slots, letting players wear them as accessories alongside other equipment.

  3. Gem-based equipment

    Tools and gear built from gems give players new options for combat and exploration.
