Collecting Pearls and the 12 Effect Gems

Gathering All 12 Gem Types

The data pack features a total of 12 unique Effect Gems. Because each gem provides a distinct beneficial effect when held in your offhand, hunting multiple Gem Zombies is essential for building a versatile toolkit.

To build your collection efficiently:

• Store your acquired gems in a designated chest near your base so you can track which effects you already own.
• Swap your offhand gem periodically to test the specific status effect each one grants.
• Continue hunting naturally spawned Gem Zombies or running a converted zombie spawner until you have acquired all 12 varieties.

Obtaining Pearls

Alongside the 12 Effect Gems, Gem Zombies also have the possibility to drop a pearl upon defeat. When battling Gem Zombies, check their drop pile carefully so you do not overlook this item among standard mob drops.

Because pearls and gems are drops from the same mob, any routine farming setup—whether running night patrols across the surface or clearing out dungeon spawners—will yield both pearls and Effect Gems over time.
