Gemstones!
This mod adds six new Gems in total and a Gem Golem.
Description
All of these can only be mined with iron and above!
(Note: All recipes are in the pictures)
The four main ores are Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, and Amethyst. This is because they all spawn naturally in the Surface World. There are two other Gems which are Crystal and Dark Crystal.
Overworld Ores
They all are found below at least level 20, and can only be mined with an iron pick or better. They are all as rare as diamond, however because there are four of them the chances of finding any are four times better. First there is Sapphire. This is slightly faster than iron, but only just. It has a durability of 3000, which is almost over double diamond!
Next is Ruby. This is very fast, faster than diamond! However it has a much lower durability, only slightly higher than iron.
Third is Emerald. This has the same durability of iron, and a slightly higher mining speed. The reason for its rarity is because any block havested with an Emerald Tool has a chance to drop two. Or it should, at the moment it doesn't since I don't know how to code it, but once I work out how I will implement it straight away!
Last is Amethyst. You cannot make any tools or armour with this, however if you place an Amethyst Gem above, below, and to either side of any tool from my mod, apart from Crystal or Dark Crystal, then it will strengthen the tools mining speed and durability by 25% of the original.
Nether Ores
There is only one Nether Ore, which is Dark Crytal. This has been compressed for so long underground that it has emerged into the Nether. With a high spawn rate it is easy to find, however it it the middle of diamond and iron for both speed and durability.
Misc Items
The first and most basic it the weight. This can be made by placing four cobblestone in a 2x2 grid. This is used to turn Gems into Gem Shards, by placing them anywhere with the Gems in a crafting table, and is also used in the recipe for A Bowl of Gem Dust and the Weak Crystal and Compresser. The weight is destroyed in the process.
The bowls of Gem Dust can be made by placing a bowl at the bottom of a crafting table, any surface gem of choice, and a weight above it.
The Weakened Crystals can be made by surrounding a Diamond with shards of the Gems, and placing weights in the corner. The recipe is in the pictures. The Weakened Crystal is needed since if it is put into a Compresser it will be "compressed" in to the Strengthened Crystal which can then be used to make the Crystal Tools and Armour.
The Compressers only function at the moment is to compress the the Weak Crystal, but I will be adding more to that. To craft it put a piston in the middle of the Gem shards, put two cobblestone in the bottom corners, and two diamond in the top.
There is a new bow, called the Reinforced Bow. To make you put two iron ingots on either side of a normal bow. This will then be able to fire the arrows from my mod. The arrows can be crafted the same as normal arrows, but instead of flint it would be a gem shard. This bow should have a higher durability that the normal bow. It cannot fire normal arrows.
You can make Gem Blocks, the same as diamond or iron Blocks, with all of the Gems.
Mobs and Dungeons!
Their is currently only one mob, which is the Golem. This sneaky beast loves gems so much it made them a part of its body, and stores them away in little rooms underground. The sheer amount of gems leaves the surrounding area covered in a Gem-like dust. The Golems put away their loot into a chest, but any Gems they find they consume to become a part fo them. Because of there is only shards in their loot chests.
Note: This mod edits the EntityArrow.class , also known as the ro.class, and the ChunkProvideGenerate.class, also known as the xj.class. Despite the ro.class it is still compatible with the mod Elemental Arrows, made my risugami as long as you install my mod after risugami's. As far I can find, there are none or very little mods that edit the ro.class but I have a feeling some of the larger mods may. If they do then my mod will still work, however Gem Dungeons will not spawn in the world.

Also, I can't fix your problems if you don't give me an error report. Saying it doesn't work, my game crashed, its laggy as hell, etc won't make me help you because I have no basis what so ever on what is causing it.
