What it does

The mod increases the number of ores that generate in a world, covering common and rarer materials such as copper, diamond, iron, netherite, gold, lapis and redstone. Its Ore Detector is a tool that finds new ores: a right click on a block sends a message with the coordinates of any ore found. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric and Quilt. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its recipes are still incomplete in this alpha build. Installing it on a client and a server is needed, since the environment is client and server.
