[Mod] Birthstones [birthstones]

[Doc]

This mod adds a gem for every month of the year!

The names of the gems in this photo from left to right are:
Alexandrite, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Garnet, Opal, Peridot, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, and Zircon.

(Don't worry, I fixed it to be the default stone texture)

Each gem has it's own block. It can be crafted by placing nine gems on the crafting table as so:


As of 1.1, picks can be crafted as so:

They are slightly better than stone pick.

As of 1.2, gems are less common, and they can be made into axes:

They are better than stone.

They are relatively common, except the diamond. They can be found naturally. Thanks for the catch.

they are very good, but it would be better if you make tools

I plan on doing this, but I needed a break.

Doc, nice mod! But i have an idea - you can use diamonds mod as base, and add encrusting to diamond and steel tools, with special table (node like scribing table), with specific effects giving!

That sounds like GloopMaster's Encrustable Gems mod... I don't really want my mod to be based on other mods, I like them to be independent. Thanks anyway!

This mod is installed on my Meowtest server and it is well received.
I personally like this mod a lot too.

^ This. I loved this mod when playing on the old Octuteam server.

P.S: Glad to see you back Doc :)

Nice mod. But you could use the default stone textures for the ores. Just change:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

...
textures = {"default_stone^-*-"},
...

(-*- = your texture for the ore)

[sfan5]

The register_ore for Opal seems to be missing from the code.

[Inocudom]

You could make these part of the base game.

[LazerRay]

The Opals are listed in the code, but their world gen is missing at the end.

I am working on glooptest compatibility (will not require glooptest). There are code changes in order to be more maintainable, but aliases are present for full backward compatibility (fully tested in a world where I had all items and blocks from the 2012 version). Check GitHub for additional improvements in the near future.
