Create ReAutomated: Traces

by TYP

Create ReAutomated: Traces places small surface outcrops above buried Create ReAutomated ore nodes, giving players a visible hint of where a deposit lies underneath.

What it does

When a freshly generated chunk contains an Ore Node, Traces stamps a small flat patch of surface stone above it. Each trace takes its base from the stone the node sits in, so it shows cobblestone or deepslate variants as they occur below, topped with a small accent block whose type the server can set.

The mod works with NeoForge 1.21.1 and requires Create and Create ReAutomated. It also works with Ore Nodes, and any node registered by another mod is handled, since the mod does not depend on a specific node. Trace placement is wired into the biome tag createreautomatedtraces:has_traces, which covers the overworld and the nether by default. Modded biomes and custom dimensions can be added through a datapack that extends that tag. Detection only runs on freshly generated chunks, so existing worlds are not retrofitted and nodes placed later by hand or by commands do not trigger a trace.

Key features

  1. Surface outcrop traces

    Small flat outcrops mark where an ore node sits below, so players know where to dig.

  2. Matching host stone

    Each trace takes the host stone of its node, so it blends with the surrounding terrain.

  3. Configurable accent block

    The block placed on top of each outcrop can be changed in the configuration.

  4. Biome-based coverage

    Traces appear in biomes listed in the has_traces tag, and a datapack can add modded biomes.

Questions

Does Traces need Create ReAutomated to work?

Yes. Create ReAutomated and Create are both required, and Ore Nodes is the mod the traces are designed around.

Will existing worlds get traces?

No. Detection runs only on chunks generated after the mod is installed, so older chunks stay as they are.

How can the number of traces be reduced?

Lower the tries per chunk in the Create ReAutomated node settings, or use the datapack version that halves the number of nodes generated.

What the author says

A NeoForge 1.21.1 add-on for Create ReAutomated that scatters small ore outcrops on the surface above buried Ore Nodes. The point is simple: give you something to spot at world level, a hint that there's a Node worth digging for underneath, the way real ore deposits leave traces on the ground. Whenever a chunk…
