💎 Emerald Essentials (Fabric)
Ever wondered why the most valuable gems in Minecraft are only used for trading? Emerald Essentials changes that! This lightweight mod adds a high-quality equipment tier that bridges the gap between Iron and Diamond.
✨ Features
This mod introduces a classic set of emerald gear, perfectly balanced for a vanilla+ experience:

- ⛏️ Emerald Pickaxe: Efficient mining speed for your survival needs.
- 🪓 Emerald Axe: Strong enough to chop down any forest.
- 👨🌾 Emerald Hoe: The ultimate tool for a professional farmer.
[!IMPORTANT] Note: This mod intentionally does not add an emerald shovel to keep the toolset unique and focused.
