Ancient Gems: Reforged

Ancient Gems Reforged expands the Minecraft universe by introducing various unique gems and minerals, scattered across all three dimensions, significantly enriching the mining experience. The mod doesn't just offer a new arsenal of tools, weapons, and armor; it redefines progression through advanced mechanics: increased harvest levels, a nerf to high-tier materials (diamond and netherite), and a durability system conditioned by the dimension you are in and the difficulty level you are playing on. With the threat of new enemies hidden within ores and chests, exploration becomes a much more challenging experience.
