Special Abilities

Emerald tools and armor glow with totem particles while you hold or wear them. The tools also have an active ability: sneak and right click while holding the right item in your off hand. Every use has a short cooldown and wears the tool a little.

Item	Off hand	Effect
Emerald Pickaxe	Emerald	Haste
Emerald Axe	Slime Ball	Jump Boost
Emerald Hoe	Wheat	Speed
Emerald Sword	Shield	Strength, with Slowness
Emerald Shears	nothing	Speed

The Totem of Emeralds works from your main hand or off hand. When it saves you it gives you Absorption, Resistance, Regeneration and Strength, loses one charge and turns into a Broken Totem after the third. The broken totem hurts a little when you use it, so repair it instead: at the Totem Repair Table, or by crafting it together with a Stacked Emerald Block.

The Emerald Spear is a plain spear made from emeralds: it uses all the vanilla spear moves, lasts longer than a diamond spear and is repaired with emeralds.

Compatibility

Property	Info
Minecraft Version	1.21.1 up to 26.3 (the spear from 1.21.11)
Mod Loader	Fabric, NeoForge, Forge
Server	Paper, Folia, Spigot (plugin)
Vanilla	Data pack + resource pack
Dependencies	Fabric API on Fabric, nothing else

Which file do I need?

You play with	Download
Fabric, NeoForge or Forge	The mod jar for your loader and version
A Paper, Folia or Spigot server	The plugin jar, plus the resource pack for the textures
Plain vanilla or a Realm	The data pack, plus the resource pack

The plugin and the data pack build every item from vanilla items, so they need no mod on the client. Without a block entity there is no Totem Repair Table there: the broken totem is repaired by crafting it together with a Stacked Emerald Block. In the data pack the tool abilities start when you begin to sneak, since a data pack cannot see a right click into the air.
