New blocks:

Cobalt:

Very common ore. It is more common than iron, but rarer that dirt, stone, etc.

The tools that you make with cobalt are faster and more durable than stone, but not as fast and as durable as iron. Stone required to mine it. Tools can mine anything stone can.

Silver:

In between iron and diamond in terms of rarity, efficiency (speed) and durability of the tools you can make from it. Iron required to mine it. It can mine anything iron can.

Vectrite:

Vectrite is a bit of a special case, it is about half as rare as iron.

Its speed is remarkable, it can create the fastest tools, but the durability horrible which makes it a little more balanced. Stone required to mine it. It can mine anything stone can.

Emerald:

As rare as diamond. The tools and armor it makes outlast diamond, but the defense of the armor and the efficiency of the tools are a bit less than diamond. Iron required to mine it. It can mine anything diamond can.

Rarium:

Even rarer than diamond. The durability is longer than any other ore in the game. It is also faster than anything else. It also has the best defence.Diamond required to mine it. It can mine anything diamond can.

Copper:

Better than Cobalt but not as good as Iron. Stone required to mine it, it can mine anything stone can.

Ruby:

In between Silver and Diamond. It makes great tools but horrible armor. Iron required to mine it. It can mine anything iron can.

Sapphire:

As rare as ruby. Makes great armor, but horrible tools. Iron required to mine it. It can mine anything iron can.

Amethyest:

As rare as Diamond. Is more durable and faster than diamond, but Amethyest swords do little damage. Iron required to mine it. It can mine anything diamond can.

Mosseine:

As rare as diamond. It drops a food that heals five hearts. Stone required to mine.
