Tools and armor
by Davoloni
Tools and armor adds ruby ore, ruby materials, ruby armor and a set of ruby tools to Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge.
What it does
Ruby ore can be found in the world, and smelting it yields ruby ingots, which craft into ruby blocks, a ruby pickaxe and a ruby sword that deals very high attack damage. The mod also adds drills made from iron, netherite and ruby, which are used by right-clicking a block. Other recipes stay as in vanilla, with the new items added to the crafting options. Every file is for Forge 1.20.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
