Gemstones and Voids is a mod that includes armors and tools for materials such as Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire, however that's not all that lurks in this mod.
Long lost and forgotten, there now exists a dimension far below the void known as the Voidlands, where dangerous creatures and treasure await.
To enter, one cannot simply fall into the void from the Overworld, instead you must construct a portal made of Onyx blocks and igniting it with a Flint and Onyx (placeholder)
The mod is still very early in its infancy, I plan to add much more to it. I've already spent about 14 hours making it so far and to be perfectly honest, it's fun. I'm having a lot of fun doing this so stick around to see what new updates come out.
Version 0.1.5 BUGFIX!!!
- Fixed Ruined Towers not having any loot, this was my fault entirely as I had forgotten to reimport the structure.
- Changed sky color to pure black
- Added a mob that's currently being worked on called the Ghost, a passive mob that drops soul sand (placeholder) on death.

- Added Amethyst Armor and Tools, along with their respective ore
- Replaced Void Wood tools with Onyx
- A new structure called the "Ruined Tower" will now spawn with random loot

One thing I would like to add, for some reason the portal to the Voidlands won't activate with it's igniter if you right click the bottom block, it only seems to do it for the top.
