Create: Ore Deposits
Create: Ore Deposits adds ore deposits to worlds, and drills with matching tips are needed to extract large quantities of ore from them.
What it does
Deposits are placed in the world as an addon for Create, and they hold larger amounts of ore than ordinary base ores. Extracting from a deposit requires a drill fitted with the tip type the deposit calls for, so the right tip has to be crafted and attached before mining begins. The mod is aimed at giving players a fairer route to large ore quantities within the Create progression.
Tips wear down as they are used, and their durability is shaped by conditions around them, since temperature changes how fast a tip degrades. Tooltips on the drill and tip items list heat, tip type, durability, lubricant and coolant so players can read the state of their equipment. Lubricant and coolant affect how the drill performs while it works.
Create: Ore Deposits needs Create to run. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 0.1.0-alpha as the latest file, released 2026-03-17 on the alpha channel. The mod is released under a custom license and is not open source; public links cover the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Ore deposits
Deposits placed in the world hold ore in larger amounts than base ores, letting players gather more per location.
Tip-matched extraction
Each deposit calls for a specific tip type, so the drill must be fitted with the correct tip before work starts.
Temperature and tip wear
Temperature changes how quickly a tip loses durability, which players track through the item tooltips.
Drill and tip recipes
Drills and their tips are craftable, so the equipment can be built with items gathered during play.
