Main Points
- Adds in 9 ores for the various gems types that are already present in other mods, so this mod can be run in conjunction with them, or by itself.
- Adds in tools, and armor for each gem type, as well as a gem block.
- This includes all vanilla tools such as Pickaxe, Axe, Shovel, Hoe, and Sword. In addition to these five base tools I have added in a Dual Tool for each tier that acts as both a Pickaxe and a Shovel.
- The tiers of gems are as follows.
- Topaz
- Malachite
- Quartz (Vanilla Minecraft)
- Amber
- Tanzanite
- Diamond (Vanilla Minecraft)
- Peridot
- Sapphire
- Ruby
- Emerald (Vanilla Minecraft)
- Amethyst
- Jet (Can only be mined with Amethyst or Cobalt equivalent pickaxe)
- This Mod's starting point is with Topaz which is slightly better than a stone pickaxe, and leather armor and ending with jet which has over 4x the durability, damage, 2x protection of diamond gear.
- Each tool, or piece of armor builds upon the previous tier as a crafting material.
- The ores also get rarer as the quality of the gem improves.
- Topaz being slightly more rare than coal/iron
- Amethyst and Jet spawning around 2 ores per chunk.
- AOE Tools (Large Variants of normal tools) mine in a 3x3x1 area for their respective types.
- Crafting recipes are a "hat" of Gem Blocks over the tool over a stick for the normal Large Variants.
- For the Dual Tool it is a Large Shovel over a Large Pickaxe over a stick.
- Or previous tier of Large Dual Tool surrounded by the next tier up of Gem Blocks.
- Universal Repair Materials
- Gem Putty/Dense Gem Putty
- Repair 9200 or 32700 durability for 20/30 levels respectively. In addition they allow renaming of items for 5/0 levels respectively
- Gem Putty/Dense Gem Putty
- Planned Additions to this mod for future releases
- Potentially add another tier of gem which will not generate in the world
- Storage Blocks
- Light Sources
- Super AOE Tools (Something like 5x5x5 area)
- Simple Gems Resource Pack... Since some people don't like the current textures.
