Ancient Debris in Overworld
by limboll
Ancient Debris in Overworld places ancient debris ore in the overworld, where it normally appears only in the Nether, so netherite can be sourced without a trip below.
What it does
The mod spawns ancient debris in overworld terrain as well as in the Nether. Blocks found this way are mined like the vanilla ore, so the material that makes netherite becomes reachable earlier in a survival world. The mod depends on Fabric API, which must be installed alongside it on every loader that needs it.
Environment is client and server: the server and every player need the mod for the same ore to appear in a shared world. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, and the latest release is 3.0 for 1.20.1. The code is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Forge builds for 1.16.5, 1.17.1, 1.18.2 and 1.19.4 are included in the same release line.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Survival players who want netherite material without repeated Nether trips, and server owners who want the same ore available to everyone on a shared world.
How it compares
More Ancient Debris (5x) and More Ancient Debris (10x) both add extra debris, and each is open source under the MIT License for 1.18.2 – 26.1.1 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Both work on the server, and a player can join without installing them. More Ancient Debris (3x) is an alternative with the same loaders, versions and license. Ancient Debris in Overworld needs both sides to run it, and it is not open source.
