Emerald Ore

Emerald Ore was added in snapshot 12w21a. When mined with a Pickaxe it drops Emeralds (which are used to trade with villagers) and therefore does not require smelting. Emerald Ore is an estimated 25X more rare than Diamonds as of 12w21a.

As with Diamonds, an Iron Pickaxe or better is needed to mine Emerald Ore.

Notable Bugs

 * Jeb forgot to change the color of the ore in snapshot 12w21a, so it is red rather than green.
