Gems and Crystals expands vanilla progression with new gemstones, biome-specific ore generation, quartz growth, and matching equipment. It adds ruby, sapphire, topaz, amethyst, and an Overworld quartz variant, with ores distributed to reward exploration: rubies are rare and deep underground, sapphires favor cold and snowy regions, topaz appears in warm biomes, amethyst is more common in dark cave systems, and quartz is more common in mountainous terrain. Quartz geodes contain budding quartz, small, medium, and large buds, and quartz clusters, providing renewable decorative blocks that can be harvested normally. The mod provides ruby, sapphire, emerald, topaz, amethyst, and quartz tools and armor, along with matching horse armor for each material. Their equipment offers different progression options, from early-game quartz and around-iron amethyst to mid-game topaz, utility-focused emerald, near-diamond sapphire, and high-tier ruby, rather than simply replacing vanilla gear with strict upgrades.
Written from Modrinth and the GitHub README . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 1 area: Server and world logicChanges 1 game code file in this area: the world, commands, scoreboards, saved data and game rules..
Adds 18 blocks, 69 items and 92 recipes.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

The newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The files for recent versions come first. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks.
In the last 2 years, 1 release needed a quick fix: a new release within 3 days to fix a problem. This counts in the grade, but it is too few to lose points.
