Long, long ago, on planet Earth, there was a guy named Jeb that wanted to create an item that would allow Minecraft players to trade with Villagers. He decided to go with Rubies but because of his daltonism, he ended up with Emeralds.
Now, until this day, the Ruby texture still exists in game's files and just sits there and does nothing.
So, I decided to change that! There is new ore in the Nether! It's called Corundum and replaces Ancient Debris. When smelted in a Furnace or Blast Furnace, it yields one Corundum gem. Four Corundum gems can then be combined with four Gold Ingots to get a Ruby! Combining Rubies with diamond gear transforms that gear into Ruby incrusted armor, tools and weapons!
Have fun playing with new decorative blocks, crimson-colored gear and the new feel to the Netherite!
Now, one more thing, is that I, unlike other "Netherite-to-Ruby" resource pack creators, wanted to retain Netherite's hellish style, while still having some fancy reddish color palette. But I think you will like it as well!
(Possibly) Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this pack in my YT videos?
A: Of course! Just don't forget to credit me in the desc.!
Q: Can I make my own version of this pack?
A: As long as you credit me as an inspiration. I, personally, was inspired by some other people and if you want to check their work, go for the following links:

Q: Can I give you some suggestions on the pack?
A: Obviously!!! Any constructive suggestions are welcome! I want this small, albeit quite useful, piece of work to fit as many of you as possible.
PS. This is first project for my series of resource packs and datapacks I want to call ALBOE (which stands for A Little Bit Of Everything). It will be a bunch of little improvements or changes to the game that will not influence on the game a lot but in a very diminutive way. Keep eyes peeled, as I will upload some projects at random intervals! ;)
