The Ore
Modby math4735
This mod adds a new ore called ruby, which includes a ruby sword, a ruby axe, a ruby pickaxe, a ruby hoe, and a ruby shovel.
Description
This mod introduces a powerful new resource tier: rubies. Ruby gear surpasses even netherite in strength and durability, offering players the most potent tools and weapons in the game.
Key Features:
Ruby Ore:
generates deep underground at Y = -10 to Y = -50;
is extremely rare — appears in small veins (1–3 blocks per vein);
requires a diamond pickaxe or better to mine;
serves as the foundation for the strongest gear in the game.
Ruby Tools & Weapons:
Ruby Pickaxe: faster mining speed and higher durability than a netherite pickaxe. Can mine all blocks, including obsidian, with ease.
Ruby Axe: cuts through wood and logs at lightning speed.
Ruby Shovel: digs dirt, sand, and gravel faster than any other tool.
Ruby Sword: the most dangerous weapon in the game. Unique Effect: when a mob is struck with the ruby sword, it explodes in a small fireball, dealing area‑of‑effect damage to nearby enemies. The explosion is similar to a creeper’s but less powerful (does not destroy most blocks, deals 15 HP damage in a 3‑block radius).
additional items (ingots, decorative blocks) are planned for future updates.
Balance & Progression:
rubies are intended as an end‑game, post‑netherite tier;
mining and combat stats significantly exceed those of netherite;
the explosive effect of the sword adds a high‑risk, high‑reward dynamic to combat.
Future Plans: The mod is in its early stages. Future updates will introduce:
new ores and materials;
ruby armour sets with unique enchantments;
custom enchantments for ruby gear (e.g., «Volatile Strike» for swords, «Blast Mining» for pickaxes);
new structures where ruby ore can be found.
