Precious Gems Mod
[represent]

Follow me on twitter for the latest news on updates, and exclusive sneak peaks

Updated for minecraft 1.4.7!!!

White Gold, Glow Ore and Blaze Ore now spawn in the nether, along with Fire Trees
Spawn rates have also been changed to be more realistic
And finally, the Fire Logs and Dark Logs now behave like vanilla logs

Also, a big content update is coming soon, including a biome (or a few), structures and more



Content

Two new trees, the Dark Tree, and the Fire Tree. The dark tree spawns in some over world biomes, and the fire tree spawns in the nether:



This Mod adds 9 new ores:

Aquamarine Ore

Topaz Ore

Ruby Ore


Sapphire Ore


Copper Ore


Amethyst Ore

Nether Ores

White Gold Ore

Blaze Ore

Glow Ore



These can all be crafted into blocks from their drops shown below:

Glow Shards and Blaze Shards can both be crafted into torches like this:

They look like this when placed in the world:

Blaze shards can also be crafted into blaze rods and blaze powder:

All of the new ores except for Blaze Ore and Glow Ore can be crafted into tools and armor. Sapphire, Ruby, Topaz and Amethyst all have the same properties as diamond, White Gold has the same properties as gold, and Copper has the same properties as iron:

There is also a weapon called the Sword of Virtue which is considered to be all powerful, way more so than diamond, but is also very resource heavy to craft:
(those strange looking sticks are dark wood sticks, crafted the same way as normal sticks, except with dark wood planks)

Glow Blocks and Glow Shards can also be used to smelt, Glow Shards are twice as powerful as coal, and Glow Blocks are ten times more powerful than Shards. It is the same with Blaze Blocks and Blaze Shards:

Obsidian Shards can be crafted like this:

They are used in the crafting of the Sword of Virtue, as well as some experimental items that will hopefully be added soon:

Elves are small human like mobs which drop Blood to be used in crafting the Sword of Virtue:

Spotlights!

Quote from cyber10kid

now before anyone says "WOW THIS HAS BEEN DONE A BAZILLION TIMES", think... turn off your computer... and never comeback... Great mod bro!

Thanks! Btw if anyone wants to do textures or banners or anything (I'm artistically impaired) please feel free to and you will be credited :)Or if you have a suggestion for a better name, it started out with just gems but I got kinda off topic haha

Quote from SparklingAndAwesome

This looks AWESOME! I'm going to install it once I make sure it won't make my laptop lag horribly

But I have a problem with killing little kids...

Haha yes that will be changed, they will probably be hostile mobs and definitely be renamed and retextured, any ideas on what they should change to?Cant believe I didn't say this earlier.... but this requires modloader! Theres now a link right by the download

Quote from SparklingAndAwesome

Evil goblins?
...is it wrong that, for some reason, "tiny Seasame Street characters, KILL TINY ELMOS!" was the first thing I thought of? Please don't do that. I liked Elmo when I was really little.
Other (and less horrible) ideas:
Miniature Herobrines (will I get banned for mentioning Herobrine? I hope not...)
Giant evil penguins (I would be willing to make the textures for these, that would be fun! )
Possessed elves
Mini zombies
Evil baby villagers
Small pigmen

Thanks! I'll probably add a lot of those actually

Can I do a mod spotlight?

Please do

Quote from limeyin

I will massage a link. Might not have a commentary. Mic isn't working well. Should be done tomorrow. Great mod!

Thanks Btw I left all of the spawn rates really high because its still sort of in testing mode

Quote from limeyin

The spawn rates are actually perfect how they are. It makes it super fun having them common. Another thing is that, if you do tweak the spawn rates, don't change glow ore too much. Like coal so it should be common like it is.

The only ones I would really change a lot would be the gems, because having things that are basically diamonds be this common is just a little bit overpoweringAnybody have ideas for new crops and trees?

Quote from crash896

I think you should add soul grass which is a black wheat (I can do the texture) and it's when you combine blood with obsidian shards, and you can craft Soul bread which you can use to eat (same properties as bread) and tame (I'm not sure what mob).

hmmm im not really understanding your idea... would it be like the normal tall grass in the game?

Quote from limeyin

Darkwood trees? When you put a log in the crafting table it makes two darkwood sticks, which you use for the handle of the sword of virtue. How about soul grass grows faster than wheat so its more useful?

That sounds really cool actually, I do need something new for the handle because using default sticks is pretty boring, I'll add this as soon as I can
