About this Mod

[Thank u everyone who played this mod. This was my first ores/materials mod I did and I learned a lot of things through it, but going on I'll be working on a new similar but bigger project, a bit more organized/sophisticated. You'll see when it is finished :3 ]
This Mod aims to add many new materials that specifically don't appear often in other mods that already add ores.
Having 3 types of silver, ruby and tin from different mods is a bit pointless, that's why Pretty Gems and Metals instead focuses on more obscure materials, some from real life, some made up. Also every Material has a use, even if it's just a tool set or crafting ingredient for another material. Most of the materials also have some unique aspects that give effects as an armor set bonus.
I will hopefully make some kind of wiki in the future but for now here's just a list of materials added:
Gems:
- Waffles (not a gem but idk)
- Jade
- Iridanite (they'll have uses in the future)
- Green Amethyst
- Apatite
- Peridot
- Bertrandite
- Chrysoberyl
- Tourmaline
- Aquamarine
- Painite (only in lush caves)
- Sunstone (near the nether roof)
- Morganite
- Finite
Metals:
- Beryllium
- Chromium
- Titanium (yes arguably a bit generic)
- Osmium
- Polonium
- Thalassilite (on the ocean floor)
Alloys:
- Reinforced Jade
- Beryllium Copper
- Stainless Steel
- Caelite (only very high up)
- Zenithite
- Aquaberyl
Future Plans:
- some texture improvements
- adding more decorative blocks
- uses for iridanite
- more alloys?
