Many people want emerald tools. Sounds good, right? Along with a new ore would come new tools, weapons, etc. However, there are a few logical downsides to having emerald tools, which are explained below.
1. Villager Trading.
Testificates trade for and with emeralds. If you find a village, all you have to do is find a villager that buys wheat for example (one of the most common villager trades,) mine a few wheat from the village farm(s), and there you go! You have yourself emerald tools!
This would make emerald tools have to be just a little better than iron to compensate. Wheat can easily be mass-produced. It only takes one villager, some wood, and seeds to make infinite tools, and this, put simply, just wouldn't be fair. The wheat is just an example, but by use of villagers, emeralds can easily be gained; much too easily for them to be used as tools fairly.
2. Realistic Aspect.
Some things in Minecraft aren't very realistic. For example, gravity only effects some blocks and the wind won't knock over a tower that isn't structurally sound. But this is all to make Minecraft better. Emerald tools are just another tool, they aren't necessary to the game and certainly unrealistic. Diamonds, for example, can be used to make tools sometimes, they exist in the real world. But emerald tools? No.
3. Programming.
Emerald tools would be one of the many tools available; as I stated in part 2, they just aren't necessary. And therefore, why would the Minecraft people waste time programming them when they have plenty of other stuff to do? It just doesn't make sense.

+1. Totally agreed, you were even brave enough to actually submit a suggestion of something that should never be added instead of a poorly written suggestion of something that should.

Some jackhammers and stuff like that are tipped with diamond, but not that it matters much. Thanks for supporting.
Yeah, some things are tipped with diamonds. People who make stained glass have little diamond-pointed needle things to cut the glass. Nothing IRL is made COMPLETELY of diamond, but some things have diamond tips.

Well yeah that was my point >.> I had realized things were tipped.
Nor are any tools/armor purely gold, because of how weak it is (Though minecraft has that right )

Retired StaffThey do. At least, diamond coated tools for sharpness, not totally made from diamonds. But its too complex to make diamond coated tools in minecraft.
Wow, completely missed 2 comments about that...
