end ores
End ores places new ore veins on surface End islands and underground, giving the barren dimension minerals to gather.
What it does
Generation of the new custom ores is hard-coded in the mod, and a datapack can change where they spawn, so world creators can customize ore placement without editing code. Vanilla-style textures are provided, and a resource pack can replace them.
The ores form a complete item pipeline: the ore block drops a raw ore, which can be smelted into a metal ingot. Fortune is intentionally disabled on these ore drops to keep the game balance, while Silk Touch collects the full ore block. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on the client and server, so both sides need it. Only Fabric builds are published, all for 26.1 with the 1.0.0 file dated 2026-08-25, and the code is not open source.
