EmeraldExtended Forge and Fabric (The Emerald Mod)
I realized that there wasn't an easy, lightweight version of the emerald mod for forge that added what I was looking for - just emerald armor and tools. Today, that changes!
This is EmeraldEx - the lightest weight emerald mod probably ever! (don't @ me)
It adds emerald armor and tools that are actually balanced - a little bit better than diamond, but with quite a bit less durability - so keep your eyes on that durability bar!

FAQ
---------------
Can I make my own port of this mod?
This project is under the MIT license, so feel free to use my work as you like!
Can I use this mod in my modpack?
You can include this mod in any modpacks, you don't need to ask permission.
I have an issue/bug! Where do I put it?
Just leave it in the comments or on the Curse issue tracker. I'll get around to fixing it as soon as I have the time.
Will you bring this to older versions?
No. I'm planning to only support 1.15-1.16 and future versions as older versions would require major rewrites of code. Additionally, there are already emerald mods for older versions.
Fabric?
Short answer: no. I'm only familiar with forge, and fabric is quite a bit different. Also, there's a similar mod for fabric which can be found here:
