Mod Wiki
Cinnabar Ruby Tools
Quickstart
- Grab a pickaxe and dig into stone or deepslate underground to find Ruby Ore or Deepslate Ruby Ore.
- Mine the ore blocks to collect Ruby gems.
- Head to a crafting table and combine Ruby with Sticks to make a full set of Ruby tools and weapons.
- Equip your new gear and start mining, chopping, farming, and fighting with it.
Overview
Cinnabar Ruby Tools adds a new gem-based equipment line built around the Ruby, a crimson-colored crafting material. Mine Ruby Ore to gather Rubies, then forge them into a complete set of tools and weapons with classic, easy-to-recognize textures. It's a straightforward alternative material tier to work toward and equip.
What It Adds
Ore Blocks
| Block | Found | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ruby Ore | Regular stone layers | Drops 1-2 Rubies when mined |
| Deepslate Ruby Ore | Deepslate layers | Tougher to mine, drops 1-2 Rubies |
Both ore types require a pickaxe to break and will not drop Ruby without one.
Items
| Item | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ruby | Crafting material | Stacks up to 64, used to craft all Ruby gear |
| Ruby Pickaxe | Tool | Fast at mining stone-type blocks |
| Ruby Shovel | Tool | Digs dirt, sand, and similar blocks |
| Ruby Axe | Tool | Chops wood-type blocks, hits hard |
| Ruby Hoe | Tool | Tills farmland |
| Ruby Sword | Weapon | Balanced melee weapon |
| Ruby Spear | Weapon | Highest damage melee weapon in the set |
Crafting And Obtaining
Rubies come from mining Ruby Ore or Deepslate Ruby Ore with a pickaxe. Once you have Rubies and some Sticks, craft the following at a crafting table:
- Ruby Pickaxe:
- Ruby Shovel:
- Ruby Axe:
- Ruby Hoe:
- Ruby Sword:
- Ruby Spear:
Abilities And Mechanics
- Pickaxe – Breaks pickaxe-mineable blocks quickly and can be enchanted like other pickaxes.
- Shovel – Efficiently digs shovel-type blocks and deals solid melee damage in a pinch.
- Axe – Strong damage output and effective against wood-type blocks.
- Hoe – Tills farmland for planting crops.
- Sword – Standard sword-type weapon, enchantable, reliable durability.
- Spear – The hardest-hitting weapon in the set, ideal for combat-focused players.
All tools and weapons have generous durability, so a single set will last through extended mining, farming, or fighting sessions before needing replacement.
Progression And Strategy
Start by locating Ruby Ore near the surface or Deepslate Ruby Ore deeper underground. Since ore drops are random between 1-2 Rubies per block, mine several ore blocks before committing to crafting a full toolkit. Prioritize the Pickaxe first so you can keep mining more Ruby efficiently, then branch into the Axe, Shovel, and Hoe for utility, and craft the Sword or Spear when you need dependable combat gear. Because all the tools share the same Ruby and Stick cost pattern, plan your Ruby stockpile around how many tools you want to equip at once.
