Find emeralds

[behedwin]

In what bioms can i find emeralds?

I´ve read they can only be found in biomes called hills or mountain.
But i live in a biome called extreme mountain

Can i find one there?

I know they exist in Extreme Hills and probably in Extreme Hills Edge as well, not sure about other biomes (in BoP for instance).

They should appear at gold level and lower, or so. They're quite rare, maybe around diamond rarity or something (my guesstimate).

 

[BuzzSa]

yup that is correct i live in a Extreme Hills for that reason, They are rare but once you have fortune 3. you can get quite a few in short time frame.

 

[DREVL]

you will also find them in twilight forrest in medium hollow hills.

Or trade with villagers for them. I find they're more rare than diamonds because they're singular, instead of in clusters.

yeah... easiest way.

Two words: Mystcraft tendrils.

MFR laser drill tends to dig up quite a bunch. And you get the ores instead of individual gems.

Melt them down, and extract the liquid emerald from their blood stream, until they're dry. Make sure to take their meat and make food with it, so that you can get the most out of every villager.

You don't always have to trade to get what you want, you know.


Dumping villagers in a smeltery gets you liquid emerald, if you didn't know.

I don't think Mystcraft has a emerald ore block page. Is there some trick to making a tendril with emeralds?

Just about every forest type of biome in BoP has emeralds.

I have been finding emeralds in my birch forest BoP biome

Yes, but you can't actually do anything with said liquid emerald. mDiyo either plans, or already has taken that feature out. Unfortunately in some modpacks (including my own) the feature is there, but doesn't work. So when you live in a Village or near a village and have a 1 high smeltery, it can become quite an issue.

Can you make a emerald block with a casting basin?

This made me chuckle...just thinking of some random guys walking around town, falling into a large smeltery...and well...EMERALDS!!!!

Bees don't need extreme biomes to find their emeralds! lol nah I went the bee way since my quarries always turned up too little for my mystcraft searches.

 

[twisto51]

I get all my emeralds via MFR Laser Drill with 6 lime foci.

While hilarious to watch while in your house, it is very annoying as you have to break the controller to get rid of the emeralds.

 

[KingTriaxx]

No you don't. Just pour them into a tank, and then break the tank.

I typically don't have a tank near my smeltery. I don't see the point in it.
