If you want to try this mod on an open-source rendition of Minecraft - I also made this mod for Minetest, check it out here:
Let's start with Ruby, I didn't want to just add another ore, so you can create Ruby like this:

With Ruby you can make Ruby Block (recipe is obvious), as well as Ruby tools:

Ruby tools can be used instead of Diamond tools in a Smithing table to get netherite tools:

I also added other tools, here are examples:
Flint tools:

Copper tools:

Quartz tools:

And that's pretty much it, I made this mod purely to test making mods in Fabric for Minecraft and in .lua for Minetest. I won't update it and feel free to use the mod or parts of it.
