Chaos ore
Chaos Ore is a NeoForge world generation mod that adds a mysterious ore block players find while exploring and reward with random loot when broken.
What it does
Chaos Ore is found in the world and must be mined with a pickaxe. Breaking one instantly rolls a random result drawn from the loot tables used by vanilla dungeon chests, so the drop is never known in advance. Possible rewards include rare music discs, golden apples, name tags and gunpowder, which turns each break into a small gamble.
The mod is aimed at players who want mining to hold surprises instead of predictable yields. Its loot is pulled directly from dungeon chest tables, so the reward pool matches what players already find underground. Chaos Ore is published for NeoForge only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The build targets game version 1.21.8 and is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
