I don't know my version or loader
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 alternative outlet for emeralds.
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 equivalence but have the durability between gold and stone.
- Armor is of diamond equivalence but has slightly better durability above gold.
- Horse armor is slightly better than its gold counterpart.
