Dio's Nether Ore
by AlasDiablo
Dio's Nether Ore adds extra ore generation to the Nether, placing more of several vanilla ores in specific biomes so exploration of the dimension pays off.
What it does
The mod changes where Nether ores appear. Coal turns up more often in Basalt Deltas, copper and iron in the Crimson Forest, diamond in the Warped Forest, lapis lazuli in the Soul Sand biome and redstone in the Nether Wastes. Vanilla ores still generate, so these biomes simply hold larger amounts of each ore than before.
The ore variants drop the usual vanilla items, with a non-vanilla nugget added through Dio's Extended Resources. Dio's Lib is also required. The mod runs on NeoForge only and is published for 1.21.1 and 1.21.8. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Biome-based Nether ores
Each supported ore is assigned to one Nether biome, so players learn where to search for specific materials.
Variant ore drops
Mined variant ores drop vanilla items, with an extra nugget between two and six in quantity.
Small quantities in the Nether biome
Some ore amounts remain small, so finding a useful stock still requires travel between biomes.
Exploration focus
The additions are built around exploring the Nether rather than mining near the portal.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who explore the Nether for materials and server owners who want Nether ores to vary by biome. Installing it on a server requires the same setup on every client.
How it compares
Abundant Ores 3x is a NeoForge server-side mod for 1.21.1, released under the MIT License, so players can join without installing it. Bobi Mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 under All rights reserved, and both sides need it. Dio's Nether Ore, by contrast, focuses on Nether biomes and needs both sides for 1.21.1 and 1.21.8.
