Ruby Things: Forging the Ruby Sword and Full Ruby Armor Set

Once your Furnace or Blast Furnace has refined enough Raw Ruby, Ruby Ore, and Deepslate Ruby Ore into cut Ruby gems, you can outfit yourself for combat with a Ruby Sword and a matching four-piece Ruby armor suit.

Forging the Ruby Sword

For melee defense, combine 2 Ruby gems vertically above 1 Stick on a crafting table to forge a Ruby Sword:

• Ruby x2 + Stick -> Ruby Sword

Because the Ruby Sword takes only 2 Ruby gems, it is often the first combat upgrade you can craft after smelting your initial Raw Ruby haul.

Assembling the Four-Piece Ruby Armor Set

Completing the full crimson armor suit requires 24 Ruby gems arranged in standard helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boot patterns:

• Ruby Helmet: Ruby x5
• Ruby Chestplate: Ruby x8
• Ruby Leggings: Ruby x7
• Ruby Boots: Ruby x4

Unpacking 3 Block of Ruby storage blocks into 27 Ruby gems gives you enough material to craft the entire four-piece Ruby Helmet, Ruby Chestplate, Ruby Leggings, and Ruby Boots suit (24 Ruby) along with a Ruby Sword (2 Ruby) and 1 spare Ruby left over.
