Easy Ores
Easy Ores is a crafting mod that lets players make diamond, emerald, coal, iron and other ores from simple recipes at a crafting table.
What it does
Ores that are normally found only by mining become craftable items, so a player can gather the listed materials and build the ore they need instead of searching for it. The mod is aimed at long survival sessions where ore scarcity slows progress, and it adds new recipes for amethyst and copper ores in later updates. Recipes are shown in the in-game recipe book, which lists the current set.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.14.4 – 1.21.8 across 14 release versions. The author holds all rights and the code is not open source. Additional ore content, including an ore called Ore Delight, was added in version 1.4.0.
