AdvanceBase
AdvanceBase is a Forge library mod that adds ores, ingots and other resources used by the AdvanceMC lineup of mods.
What it does
Copper, tin, lead, silver and aluminum each come with ore blocks, ingots, nuggets, plates and dusts. Bronze has its own ingot and gear, and Advancium ore and ingot serve as a core resource that other mods in the lineup draw on. Silicon and sulfur dust are present in the mod but cannot be obtained in survival play.
The mod is a base for the AdvanceMC lineup, which is why its resources are shared rather than standing alone. Its main use is supplying placeholder ores in a modpack, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Minimum Forge builds differ by game version, with the exact requirement tied to each release.
Builds cover 1.10.2 – 1.12.2 across four release versions: 1.10.2, 1.12, 1.12.1 and 1.12.2. The latest file is 2.3.1 for 1.12.2, published on 2023-08-21. The code is open source under the MIT License.
