Ruby (The Ruby Mod)

This is the page for the item. For the mod, see The Ruby Mod.
Rubies are gems found at Y 17 or lower. It is the 3rd strongest ore behind Diamonds.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mining ===
Ruby ore mined using an iron pickaxe or stronger drops 2 ruby chunks. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing. If the pickaxe is enchanted with Fortune, it can drop an extra chunk per level of Fortune, allowing for a maximum of 5 with Fortune III. If the ore is mined using a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch, it drops an ore block rather than a chunk. The ore is found at level 12 or lower, most commonly between 7 and 10. Levels 9-10 are the preferred levels to mine at as they contain less lava than levels 3-7.
=== Natural Generation ===
Ruby ore can generate in the Overworld in the form of mineral veins. Ruby ore attempts to generate 1 time per chunk in veins of 0-12 ore, in layers 1 to 18 in all biomes. If multiple veins spawn directly adjacent, it is possible to have a "singular vein" with more than 10 ruby ore. On average they generate 4.8 ores per chunk. Ruby ore is also less likely to be exposed to air (similarly to diamonds). Ruby ore can replace stone, granite, diorite, and andesite.
== Usage ==
Rubies are used to make high-tier tools and equipment. This equipment is the 3rd strongest, behind diamond equipment.
