Adds gems to the game. Gems are found deep underground and can be encrusted into certain tools to make faster and more durable variants.

garnet, aquamarine, topaz, diamond, opal (left to right):


crafting recipe:

• Garnet (+5% speed, +5% durability, spawns starting at -64)
• Aquamarine (+5% speed, +10% durability, spawns starting at -128)
• Topaz (+15% speed, +5% durability, spawns starting at -256)
• Diamond (+10% speed, +15% durability, spawns starting at -512)
• Opal (+35% speed, -10% durability, spawns starting at -1024)

Encrustable tools: steel, gold, and mithril, (gold and mithril are from moreores).

After some bug testing, I want to make a specialized furnace (fueled by mercury) that encrusts tools.

I got kicked out at -395:

Maybe the init.lua of the most recent moreores can help you.

Nice mod, don't worry about the textures, they're not bad. The structure of the lumps looks good.

Looks nice!

+1 awesome!

You're right. I'll start using the generate_ores function found in moreores. Thank you

Nice idea. You should tweak opal so that it makes the tools 35% faster, but with a 10% durability loss.

Cool mod i got a spare diamond texture in my texture pack:

wanna reserve it?

I said: in my texture pack. Which is 128x actually.

Sure, I'd like that

Updated: rebalanced the different gems so they aren't a linear progression, but each gem type is unique.

No crashes with the second version ( http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php ... 612#p35612 ) . Good job!

Looks nice!

The gem names sound like Pokemon games.

May you consider moving opal aboth -999.5 as that's the lowest you can go

That's only the lowest you can go when on a server that has Glomie's protect blocks (or a variant) installed. The real bottom of the game is at -30912. (The top is at 30927.)

what is the /giveme command to get topaz etc?
I'm trying to make a spawn item and the recipe requires topaz >_<

From the init.lua -just try doubleclicking it-

minetest.register_node("gems:mineral_topaz", {

So it is: /giveme gems:mineral_topaz 99

or 1, or 1000 or -1

+1

-1 gives you 1-max. max=the max number of items you could get with the giveme command
