Gem Infusion

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.18. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.18.2Newest
Minecraft 1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.18.2 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Gem Infusion adds Gem Ore that randomly spawns in the overworld between y0-16 and Gem Ore can only be mined with a Netherite Pickaxe or better and drops Gem Ore when mined, that can be crushed in a crusher (from this mod) and that will make 2 Red Gem Dust that can be smelted to 1 Red Gem each.

Red Gems can be infused with Netherite Tools/Armor in a Smithing Table to make Gem Infused Netherite Tools/Armor.

This mod adds:

- Gem Ore (Spawns in the overworld between y0 and y16)

- Red Gem (Can be obtained by crushing Gem Ore in a Crusher)

- Red Gem Block
