Extreme Ores
Extreme Ores adds seventeen new ore blocks to world generation, each with its own traits and uses, across the overworld, the Nether and the End.
What it does
The ores spawn at different depths and in different dimensions. Some sit deep underground and yield gems with glowing or light-based properties, while others are found in the Nether, where their heat-based traits suit furnace fuel and weapons. Players who explore the End or dive into the lower overworld can expect ores with stealth, speed and levitation-related uses, all generated as part of the world.
Each ore produces a material for tools, armor or building blocks. The mod covers high-tier gear, solar and frost themes, and a few hybrid metal-and-gem materials. Its items are meant for crafting equipment rather than for decoration alone.
Extreme Ores runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with the 1.4.0 release for 1.20.1 on Forge and for 1.21.4 on NeoForge, the latter in the beta channel. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
