About this project
What does Rubinated Nether add?

Rubinated Nether is a Vanilla+ mod adding Minecraft's scrapped Ruby. This mod adds several utility and decoration blocks, with a revamped Nether Progression.
Current Features

Within the Nether you may find Rubies near the Lava Ocean, near the Nether Roof or in Piglin Bastions. Harvest them with a Diamond Pickaxe.

Using the Freezer, you can freeze Molten Rubies into Rubies, Ice into its colder variants, Magma Cream into Slimeballs and Magma Blocks into Obsidian. Freezing Snow yields the (un)obtainable Frosted Ice.

Craft the Ruby Laser to detect entities and blocks in its path. Its beam is invisible unless you wear Ruby Lenses on your head. Alternatively, place Glass directly in front of the Ruby Laser to make its beam visible. Stained Glass tints the laser beam. Its block output is proportional to how close the block or entity is. The laser beam detects block hitboxes.
Right-clicking the laser will turn it Tinted, making it only detect blocks and not entities.
Placing Tinted Glass in the path of the laser will shorten it's range without redstone output. Currently only works with Tinted mode.

Break Rubies into Ruby Shards for a more economical and efficient way to Barter with Piglins.

Use Soakstones to soak up lava like a sponge, or craft a Ruby Brazier to have Fire Resistance applied to you.

Craft Ruby Glass for a blast-proof window, or Bleeding Obsidian to invite nightmares. You can Rubinate obsidian by right clicking any Crying Obsidian with a Ruby Shard.

Ruby Chandeliers, Ruby Lanterns and Ruby Lava Lamps are all stylish decorations to light up your surroundings! Blocks of Molten Ruby and Molten Ruby Glass also glow! Ruby Chandeliers can be dropped onto enemies and players like Dripstone Spikes.
Vanilla armor also supports Ruby Armor Trims for an orange-hue trim.

Rubinated Nether is compatible with Spelunkery (Rough Ruby variants), Jaden's Nether Expansion, The Aether, and other libraries. The mod also offers a variety of config features to customize the mod.
