About this Mod
If you are bored of mining for netherite or just using diamonds for your tools, this is your mod.
This mod adds new mining materials that enhance the way you collect resources and make your inventory more vibrant and colorful with its gems.
The following table ranks the new minerals alongside the vanilla ones for comparison:
| Mineral | Base tool durability | Height (y level) | Biome (Overworld) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0. Adamantite | 3500 | (Only crafted) | - |
| 1. Opal | 2600 | 100 - 255 | Mountains, Windswept Hills |
| 2. Sapphire | 2200 | 80 - 180 | Mountains, Windswept Hills and Taigas |

Note: Opal ore can only be mined with Sapphire tools and those need at least diamond-level gear to obtain.
These new gems can also be used to craft new armor and tools like pickaxes, axes, hoes, shovels, and swords with increased toughness, durability, attack speed, and damage. To do so just follow the standard Minecraft recipes replacing vanilla materials with modded ones.
Don't forget to try out the new shiny mineral blocks and add some new colors to your builds. You will need at least Sapphire tools to work with these new materials.
To craft Adamantite combine the new materials except Aluminum using a crafting table to obtain adamite, then smelt it to get an Adamantite Ingot.
To get steel you have to craft it using an iron ingot and any type of coal. Low-carbon steel is used only for structural blocks, mid-carbon steel is used for armor and high-carbon steel is used for tool crafting.
So what are you waiting for? Try it out for yourself.
