DigDug 1.2.0 - Ores and More
by SmarterCob
DigDug 1.2.0 - Ores and More adds new ores, foods, mobs and enchantments to Minecraft Java Edition, aimed at progression past the endgame.
What it does
Newly introduced ores include Witchine, Sapphire, Opal and Boomite, alongside Black Iron, an alloy that the mod presents as a better material than netherite. Two new mobs, Dummy and Cluckshroom, join the world, and a set of foods such as Hexed Potatoes, along with a recipe that turns Rotten Flesh and a campfire into a new item, adds cooking content to the game.
Three new enchantments, Domain, Scope and Softness, extend the enchanting options, and one more, Smelting, is included as well. Dried Hide and a Chain retexture round out the additions, and most of the content is shown in the mod's gallery. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.8 and is the 1.3.0 file dated 2026-05-04, with both client and server needing it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
