Description
Inclusion
Run-down:
Adds 20 different diamonds to the game that have different drop rates from mining diamond ore.

Colorless (the rarest), Z-Grade (second rarest), black and white, red (rarest of fancy colored), orange, yellow (most common of fancy colored), green, blue, violet, purple, and pink (second rarest of fancy colored).
Fancy colored ones come in a regluar/pale or deep variety.
I have a texture pack that renames the basegame's diamonds to "Bort," and adjusts the colors of diamond items to be more prismatic.
The various diamonds don't have their own gear (although in the future that wouldn't be hard to make, I don't think it would be very original and coming up with stats based on real life would be a bit annoying, really), rather they all are treated the same way vanilla diamonds are (like how all woods used to make the same door, etc.). If it's requested I might change this…but again I don't feel like it would matter that much right now. In regards to the next point, I might give them all their own individual diamond blocks, but for now they all can craft into the same diamond block.

The main thing is that because they all have different rarities, you can take advantage of this through trading/reward systems. Beyond that it's just for variety and aesthetic purposes at the moment :), sorry if that's a bit too dull.
I was inspired to do this because of Houseki no Kuni being on my mind
New Features:
Version 1.1.0
- Now the mod diamonds are treated like vanilla ones in recipes
- Added Polished Obsidian, Polished Obsidian Sword, Tsuyayaka Armor, Gem Cutting Plate, and Gem Cutting Shiv



Planned Features (between both the mod and the texture pack):
Some of these are a bit ambitious but nonetheless
- Aforementioned unique diamond blocks
- More unique sprites for diamond tools and armor, with the tools and additionally diamond ore having animated glints/sparkles
- I am…a gacha addict…maybe…👉👈🥺 um…a gacha of some kind…where bort might not be craftable into armor/tools but it can be repurposed for something else
- I'm also an artist, maybe I'll make a set of paintings that require a diamond to be in the frame, maybe this can coincide with the above gacha feature somehow
- Mobs that drop different diamonds and/or adjusting the loot tables of preexisting ones to accomplish the same thing
- Trader-type mobs that trade for rarer-grade diamonds
- Refining/shaping/cutting
- Chocolate diamonds, since I haven't added brown as a color…maybe they'll get their own ore and something special on top of it
A different texture for obsidian blocks, and the ability to craft obsidian orbs…which will be used to make special equipment…that may or may not be Houseki no Kuni-themed✔- A challenge or boss of some kind, achievements, progression, etc.

since making this gif i've balanced the drop rates more 🙂
Please feel free to let me know about any bugs or compatibility issues you find, recommendations, and guidance you might have as I know very very little about coding in java (which is why I'm using MCreator), and what I do know in javascript/html is limited (not that it applies to minecraft aha…) and I'd like to know what direction other people want this mod to go in.
