AA's Crops Ore
by AngelSushi
AA's Crops Ore adds seeds that grow into ore nuggets, so players can collect minerals from farm plots instead of digging for them.
What it does
Each seed grows only when it sits on the block it needs. Once a crop is harvested it drops a small amount of the matching ore, and there is a chance it also drops a seed for replanting. Two new items, the Diamond Nugget and the Emerald Nugget, are part of the ore-farming loop, and the seeds for other ores are added as well.
Seeds are crafted by placing five ores in a cross shape on the crafting table, which ties the farm to ores the player already has. The mod suits players who would rather grow minerals over a long session than dig for them. It is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed. The latest Forge file is 1.0.3 for 1.20.6, published on 2025-03-20.
Key features
Ore-producing crops
Special seeds grow into plants that yield small amounts of ore when harvested.
Replanting chance
A harvested crop can drop a seed again, so a farm can keep producing without new seeds.
Crafted seeds
Seeds are made from five ores in a cross shape at a crafting table, such as the Diamond Seed recipe.
Nugget items
The Diamond Nugget and Emerald Nugget are added as new items alongside the seeds.

Use cases
Replacing long mining sessions
Players who want minerals without digging can plant the seeds and harvest ore from a farm.
Pairing with other seeds
Seeds for ores from other mods can join the same farming setup, widening the set of crops.
Who it’s for: Players who prefer farming to digging, and server owners who want an ore source that does not depend on digging. Players and server owners should note that the mod is needed on both sides.
