Renewable Tools

A Fabric mod that introduces tools, weapons, and armor made from Minecraft's underappreciated minerals: emerald, amethyst, and copper.

Overview

The items in this mod are designed to bridge minor gaps between the standard Minecraft tiers while maintaining their own unique identity.

The mod follows the design and balance philosophy of Minecraft's pre-1.8 beta era. Texture designs do not align with modern Minecraft aesthetics. This modification was developed for an upcoming nostalgia-themed modpack.

Emerald

In the upcoming modpack, villages won't spawn naturally, making emerald obtainable only through mining or by curing zombie villagers and subsequent trading. The item stats reflect this scarcity and eventual renewal capability.

Amethyst

Amethyst is highly renewable yet relatively uncommon, so the tools are balanced for mid-game usage with an emphasis on disposability and efficiency – making them superior to stone and leather equipment.

Copper

Copper is significantly more abundant than iron, especially near the surface, making it easier to gather enough for tools and armor early in the game. The copper set blends stone and iron characteristics, serving as a suitable disposable option for beginners.

This mod is a fork of Emerald Tier, so credit goes to Chadsten for their excellent original mod.
