Probably best to collect a list of things to be done here, rather than random notes on my destkop. Feel free to chime in if I missed something, but suggestion for new ideas should go in a new issue!

Things not yet re-implemented in 1.9:

Blocks

• Chaos essence/coal blocks (MiscBlocks)
• Chaos altar
• Gem lamps
• Teleporters

Items

• Armor (Functioning, missing some models)
• Bows (might be a nightmare in 1.9...) (Partially functioning)
• Chaos coal (can't be burned currently)
• Pet summoners
• Return home charm
• Chaos gems/runes (may be replaced by something else?)

New ideas on the list (note these may or may not end up in the mod):

• Shinies bag: an item that stores gems (Gemulation)
• Shields (not sure how practical that is) (Wasn't that hard, surprisingly)
• Gem glass blocks
• Enchantments for boosting magic damage and charge speed.
• Fishing rods (Probably not worth the effort)

The shinies bag sounds like a great idea! Unless you plan on implementing it soon, do you mind if I take a shot at it?

Not at all, go ahead!

Shinies bags will most definitely be in the next release of Gemulation, so consider that one done!

the new armor is working great, though the enchanted effect looks aweful. love the textures on the properly decorated armor, took me a few trys to figure it out and wasted a lot of gems getting my armor looking sweet with a mix of gems and silver.

I've disabled the enchanted glow on armor for now. I just discovered that issue myself. The armor is still a work-in-progress. Hopefully we can get some custom item models sometime in the near future to make decorating easier.
