While looking through the minecraft.jar while I was bored, I found some pretty interesting pictures. My guess is rubies were supposed to be what emeralds ended up being, which may explain in previous snapshots before 1.3's release the ores were originally red. Check it out for yourself. Spoiler These are found in the current 1.3.2 minecraft.jar so I'm wondering if Mojang may be planning to release yet another ore soon. Post your ideas below
Totally that would be awesome stealing ideas off of the minecraft tekkit mods rubies specifically is from a mos called red power 2
Yeah, if you check the change logs, Mojang was originally planning to release rubies but had never done so. It's not unusual for them to leave unused stuff in the code though. For example, the quiver was there for over a year and they never implemented it.
Wow! Stealing ideas from a modded client of the game that they created! So, if I make a game, someone mods it, and I think its a awesome mod and implement it into the game, its stealing?
