Corundum is the second hardest mineral on Mohs scale of hardness right underneath Diamond. So I thought it'd be fun to look around and search for this mineral in Minecraft!
All of the tools and armor are very close to the statistics of the Diamond tools/armor. Corundum Ore is slightly easier to find then Diamond Ore as well.
I do plan on expanding this mod and adding more cool minerals as long as people would like me to. Feedback is very much appreciated, enjoy!

CHANGELOG:
1.1.0
• Changed Armor textures
• Corundum Ore now spawns from Y level 24 all the way to level 0
• Corundum Ore spawn frequency has been changed to be more balanced
• Corundum Block texture has been changed
• Bug Fix: Corundum Ore now sounds like stone instead of grass when breaking
I'd totally use a version that made Diamonds need Corundum to be mined, so it'd be like this:
Iron -> Corundum -> Diamond
Rather than:
Iron -> Corundum & Diamond
I'd recommend having them separate, because people might not like this mod if it overrides a basic principle of Minecraft.
That’s a great idea, but like you said I’m not sure if people would like a change like that. But I’m open to it and will test it. Since iron is so common and Corundum and Diamond are pretty rare I don’t want there to be a situation where someone comes across a Diamond and they’re like “Aw man I have to find Corundom first?”. That would be the main issue.
Maybe a spawn at y30 seems more appropriate in that case? This would make it equal in rarity to Gold and Lapis, but would effectively be (just under) twice as common as Diamond.
Two versions was what I was getting at though. I'd be down for a new tier to the progression, and I know others wouldn't. It's simply a request from me and hopefully for a bunch of other people who'd like a new tier for a version that edited diamonds too.

Thanks.
When I was testing the mod before release I had them spawning at y 32 And they were just too common considering considering the tools you can make with them are as close to diamond as it gets. I didn’t want this ore to be an easier to find diamond that’s super common. Balance is most important to me in mods and through testing I found that the best range considering the power of the tools for Corundum is y 24. As for adjusting the tools so it’s
iron->Corundum-> diamond I will look into this for sure. Thank you for your feedback.
