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
  • 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.
