Dimensional Oxidized Ores
by Jeremy3463
Dimensional Oxidized Ores adds oxidized variants of Nether and End ores that generate in the Nether and End dimensions and drop oxidized items when broken.
What it does
Oxidized ores generate in the Nether biomes, in caves near the top, and in the End on the end island city island at the bottom. Breaking them drops oxidized versions of the items, which look different from the normal ones.
Oxidized items have to be converted before they can be used in recipes. Smelting them in a furnace returns the normal variant, and an oxidized diamond smelts into a normal diamond. The mod is a small challenge that changes how the ores are collected and processed rather than adding new tools or blocks.
Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs on client and server. Forge and NeoForge files are published for 1.17.1 – 1.21.8, with 2.0 for 1.20.1 as the Forge file and 2.0 for 1.21.8 as the NeoForge file. The mod requires Minecraft 1.18.2 or later on Forge. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

What the author says
This is an Minecraft 1.18.2+ Forge mod. It contains End and Nether Ores, BUT the Items are Oxidized and you need to Convert them into Normal Items to Use them for Crafting. It's a Little Challenge:D These are the Oxidized Items that you will collect after breaking an Nether or End Ore
