Create Ore Excavation
by tom5454
With Create Ore Excavation, hidden ore veins and fluid reservoirs spawn in the world, and Create machines extract their resources.
What it does
Ore veins and fluid reservoirs are placed at random in chunks, with at most one vein per chunk. Players locate them with the Ore Vein Finder item, then harvest the resources using a Drilling Machine or a Fluid Extractor. The veins are described as infinite, and the types of vein can be set through a datapack or KubeJS.
The mod depends on Create and Create Fabric, which are required, and it can also work with CC: Tweaked, EMI, Just Enough Items (JEI), KubeJS and Roughly Enough Items (REI) as optional dependencies. Chunk Storage Api Fabric is bundled inside the mod. Create Ore Excavation is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.18.2 – 1.21.1.
Key features
Hidden ore veins
Ore veins and fluid reservoirs generate at random in chunks, and each chunk holds only one of them.
Infinite harvesting
Veins are described as infinite, so resources can be extracted from the same location over time.
Drilling and extraction machines
A Drilling Machine harvests ore veins and a Fluid Extractor draws from fluid reservoirs.
Configurable vein types
Vein types can be defined through a datapack or KubeJS scripts, so the ore selection can be changed.
