About this Mod

Essentially Emerald 1.19.x version is temporarily only available on Forge mod loader.

Essentially Emerald adds lightweight and vanilla-friendly additions to Minecraft. The added emerald tools and armor fits in seamlessly with the default game and provides an early-game alternative to diamond quality tools.

Along with crafting, various emerald gear has a small chance to spawn in chests generated at:

  • Village armorers, toolsmiths, and weaponsmiths
  • Pillager outposts and woodland mansions
  • Ancient Cities

Stats and Durability


Since emeralds are of high quantity in villages:

  • Tools and Weapons are of diamond quality equivalence but have the durability between stone and gold.
  • Armor is of diamond quality equivalence but has slightly better durability above gold.
    • Emerald armor also does not provide any toughness stat
  • Horse Armor is slightly better than its gold counterpart.
  • Emerald gear has the lowest enchantibility factor under iron
