Better Ore Progression
by DLMSpielt
Better Ore Progression changes how ores are obtained, so that Enderite and several other ores need tools and materials that players must earn first.
What it does
The mod changes the ore progression of Minecraft: some ores are added, and others now need specific tools to be collected. Enderite is the main example. It needs a diamond pickaxe to be collected and End Crystals to craft, and the mod makes it harder to obtain than netherite. Iron also changes, since collecting diamonds requires a copper pickaxe, and copper and gold are used in the new recipes alongside Enderite.
The mod is for Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.1, and its only file, 1.0.0, was published on 2025-04-18. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is available on GitHub for anyone who wants to read it.
Key features
Enderite ingots and pieces
Enderite ingots and pieces are added, and they serve as the material for a new tier of gear.
Enderite armor and tools
Armor and tools made from Enderite join the game, with stats above the vanilla netherite set.
Gated ore mining
Iron and diamond collection depends on which tool is held, so early progress follows a fixed order.
Copper and gold recipes
Copper and gold ingots feed new recipes, giving the early ores a use beyond the vanilla ones.
