Chas' Ores
by TheChas
Chas' Ores adds six ores to Minecraft worlds, each with its own purpose, plus a freeze mechanic and an Eldritch set of armor and tools.
What it does
The ores generate in the world, and the mod's six ores are built to differ from one another instead of overlapping with ores from other ore mods. Three of them are Nether Fruit, BloodMetal and Gaianite, and the Eldritch Ore is one of the set. The ore mechanics include a block that behaves like suspicious sand, so a player digs for an item rather than simply mining a block.
The Eldritch set is equipped with new tool textures and armor, and it comes with a redesigned Eldritch critter model meant to give the mobs a more uniform look. Tools from the set can hit mobs to apply a freeze effect, and wearing the full armor set adds its own effect when a mob is struck. The author made the mod because most ore mods add ores that overlap in function, and states that other mods do not solely add ores.
Chas' Ores runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Its first file was published on 2025-01-17, and the latest file, 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, is dated 2025-05-06. Planned features are listed by the author without a release date.
Key features
Six unique ores
The mod adds six ores that generate in the world, each with a distinct purpose rather than a copy of another ore.
Freeze mechanic
Tools from the Eldritch set can freeze mobs when they hit them, a mechanic the author added on top of ordinary ore use.
Full armor set effect
Hitting a mob while wearing the full Eldritch armor set triggers an additional effect against it.
Suspicious ore block
One ore works like suspicious sand, so a player has to dig it out, adding a search step to mining.
Eldritch critter model
A new Eldritch critter model with a more uniform design accompanies the armor and tool textures.
