Bedrock Ores
by Sangar
Bedrock Ores lets bedrock blocks hold ore clusters, and a Bedrock Miner machine harvests them from below.
What it does
Instead of regular ore blocks, the mod spawns ore clusters embedded in bedrock. A harvested bedrock ore behaves much like the ore it contains, except the block never breaks, and each deposit yields less than a normal ore. Once a deposit is exhausted, the block turns back into regular bedrock. Bedrock ore generation is controlled through the regular world generation system, and the default configuration makes vanilla Minecraft ores generate in bedrock in the Overworld.
A single machine, the Bedrock Miner, is also included; it pulls bedrock ores out of a 5x3x5 zone beneath itself and pushes what it collects into any inventory sitting above it. It needs power from Forge Energy, supplied by a powered source or by pumping burnable materials such as coal through one of its sides. It stops working when the inventory it ejects into is full. Bedrock ores wrap the actual ore block state rather than adding new ores, so checks for the original ore keep working, and block entity use is supported. The mod requires Architectury API, Fabric API and Forge Config API Port. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
