Arda's Ores
by Ixra
Arda's Ores adds ore types, armor pieces and tools, with Charged Onyx, Charged Netherite and Charged Copper among the new materials.
What it does
Most of the new ores generate in the world, in the Nether and in the End, so resources are found while exploring rather than only by crafting. Ore materials are then worked into armor items and tools, and the armor made from them is stronger against the creatures a player meets in those dimensions.
Charged Onyx, Charged Netherite and Charged Copper are the named materials in the set. The mod suits players who want more ores and gems to progress through, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge in two release versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
Installation runs on client and server: the server and every player need the mod. Arda's Ores is published under All rights reserved and is not open source. The Forge file 1.0 for 1.20.1 is dated 2025-05-25, and the NeoForge file 1.0 for 1.21.1 is dated 2024-12-24.
Key features
Additional ore types
New ores generate in the overworld, the Nether and the End, adding resources to every dimension a player visits.
Armor from ore materials
Armor pieces are crafted from the new materials and give more protection against hostile creatures than the standard sets.
Tools from the same materials
Tools built from the ore materials cover mining and digging, so the new resources are used beyond armor.
Gems for faster progress
Several gem types are added to the game, giving players extra items to trade or craft into equipment earlier.
