Have you ever felt the need for extra tiers of progression, like diamonds just aren't enough? Well, you're in luck! This mod uses new gems generated in the form of ores to craft tools, weapons, and armor. There are also other useful items added, such as a ring that gets rid of all of that pesky cobblestone. Scroll down for more info!
Gems / Ores:
- Sapphire
- Ruby
- Amethyst
- White Gold (NOTE: Smelts to nuggets, not ingots)

Overworld:
All ores are generated in the overworld.
Ores are generated lower and rarer as usefulness increases
Nether:
Only White Gold is generated, found below y = 64

is much more common than the overworld or nether.
