This mod changes the ore generation of emerald ore, so it actually feels worth it, if you decide to go mining for them.
Generation Emeralds now generate everywhere, from height -64 to 0. And 3 times as much at height 80 to 160.
Extra Emeralds This also keeps the vanilla generation, so you can find extra emeralds in mountain or windswept biomes.
