Dense Mekanism
by NewJumper
Dense Mekanism adds denser variants of the Mekanism ores to the world, so the same ore types appear in smaller, rarer clumps.
What it does
Dense ores generate within the same height ranges as Mekanism's ores, but they are much scarcer and appear in smaller clumps, so they are harder to spot while exploring. Each dense ore drops roughly twice as many materials as the normal Mekanism ore when mined, and Fortune and Silk Touch apply to it with their usual effects. The mod needs Mekanism and runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.19.2, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.

What the author says
Dense Mekanism adds dense variations to all Mekanism ores. These ores can drop up to two times the amount of materials compared to the normal ores that Mekanism has. These ores spawn within the same ranges as Mekanism's ores; however, these dense ores are much more scarce and in smaller clumps, so keep an eye out!…
