Elementary Nether and End Ores
by Lothrazar
Elementary Nether and End Ores places a set of ores into the Nether and the End, so those dimensions can be mined for familiar materials.
What it does
Ore generation is added to the Nether and the End. Nether diamond, emerald, lapis, iron and coal ores are matched to endstone, and an Ender ore in the End can be mined for ender pearls, while a Ghast ore in the Nether yields ghast tears. Textures for the Nether ores are drawn to match netherrack, and the End ores match endstone.
The mod is configured through Forge's config system on older builds, while newer versions use Minecraft's JSON data packs. Ores are picked by hand rather than as a full set, and the mod works with Silk Touch, Fortune and blast furnaces. Resource packs can replace the netherrack and endstone textures and the ore icons, and the mod is built to accept those overlays.
Files target Forge and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.14.4 – 26.1.2, with 1.20.1-1.1.0 as the latest Forge file and 26.1.2-2.1.0 as the latest NeoForge file. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
