Diamond Rework
Description:
Makes diamond ores appear WAY less frequently but makes them a LOT bigger when you eventually find one. Also changes a few recipes to include diamonds, those recipes being pistons, hoppers, netherite, shulker boxes, beacons, and enchanting table and some are adjusted to give more items from crafting. Also changes how Diamond Items are crafted and work. Diamond items will now require Diamond Blocks to make but are in turn Unbreakable. Some other tool items (Shears, Trident, Mace, Fishing Rod, Shield) also got their Diamond version wich is crafted with their original variant and 4 Diamond Blocks and are also Unbreakable. Also makes Ancient Debris a lot more common because i don't like mining in the Nether at all to compensate for the rarity of the Diamonds.
Questions:
- Q:Aren't the new recipes to expensive?
- A:While they are expensive by keep in mind that you get around 80-ish Diamonds per Vein
- Q:Diamond veins are still small.
- A:Unfortunately some veins rarely do generate with a low amount of Diamonds there is nothing I can do about it, because there aren't enough stone blocks where it wants to spawn.
- Q:Can i increase/decrease the spawn rate/size of Diamond Veins?
- A:Yes, since this is a Datapack you can go to data\minecraft\worldgen\configured_feature and change "size" in ore_diamond_large or in ..\placed_feature change weight above "data:1" in ore_diamond_large
- Q:Other Versions?
- A:1.20.4 and below dosen't support custom recipes that I use, but updating is likely.
- Q:Why use Diamond Blocks instead of Diamonds wich could be made apper in smaller veins, and also why not make even the structure tools not have durability.
- A:It is simply for mod compatability, while i could change every vanilla structure and mechanic to adjust to that sistem, if a mod would add a structure wich has 10 Diamonds it would be op in that scenario and break the whole sistem, the same goes for tools where crafting them would be obsolete if you could find a full set in a single modded strucutre. Also if diamonds were rare even with mods some of them use them and are balanced on having a lot of spare Diamonds wich you wouldn't have in this scenario.
Notes:
Strucutre/Villager Diamond stuff has durability, only crafted ones are Unbreakable. I recommend using this Datapack alongside mods/datapacks that make caves bigger, and to use mods/datapacks that remove/modify Mending and Fortune as those in my eyes kind of defeat the point. I personally use the mods Enchancement and Larion.

Thanks to CodingLegend0100 for letting me use his idea of making Diamond Veins less common and bigger from "Larger Ore Veins: Deluxe".
