albins mixed ores
by mrfootcheese
Albin's Mixed Ores adds hybrid ore blocks to world generation, where one block combines the drops of two familiar vanilla ores for NeoForge.
What it does
Each mixed ore pairs two vanilla resources in a single block, so mining one returns items from both. Coal and iron ores are mostly coal, a diamond and gold ore is balanced toward green, and diamond with coal leans toward coal, with a small chance of a diamond. Iron with redstone is based on the idea of a conductive metallic structure, and gold with iron mostly yields iron because it looks most like gold. Mixed ores keep the usual mining experience while adding variety to caves.
The mod also includes new stone-like blocks. Tuff with andesite and quartz with andesite give tuff or quartz from the overworld as a new way to get them. Amethyst with copper forms a small amethyst ore family, and quartz with calcite spawns rare geodes. An ore amalgam mixes almost every ore into one block and is extremely rare, about 0.05 per chunk. Three copper oxide tools and a redstone conversion recipe at the stonecutter are added as well. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, 1.21.8 and 26.1.2, with 1.5.7 for 26.1.2 as the latest build.
Key features
Hybrid ore blocks
Pairs of vanilla ores such as coal with iron, or diamond with gold, are combined into single blocks that drop items from both.
Geode and quartz spawns
Quartz with calcite spawns ring geodes rarely, and quartz with andesite gives a new way to find quartz in the overworld.
Rare ore amalgam
A block that mixes almost every ore appears about 0.05 per chunk, so it works as a rare decorative find.
Copper oxide tools
Three tools are added to a new toolset made from copper oxide, alongside the hybrid ore blocks.
