David New Ores
by daviteleste
New ore blocks for the overworld, nether and end arrive with David New Ores, plus a set of custom tools for working them.
What it does
The mod adds new ore blocks that generate in the overworld and are meant to give mining a fresh set of materials. Each ore is described by its author as similar to diamond in its role, opening crafting options that the vanilla ores do not offer. A full set of tools is included, built for the new ores and intended to bring different mining and combat choices into the game.
The author describes the mod as expanding depth exploration and giving builders and adventurers unique resources to collect. Planned updates are said to bring more ores to the nether and end and more dimensions to explore, but no version of those is in the current file. Forge is the only loader with a published file, and it is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 alone. Client and server both need the mod, so it has to be installed on the server and on every player's game.
