Funglue's Metals and Minerals

by funglue

Funglue's Metals and Minerals adds several metals and non-metal minerals to Minecraft Java Edition, focused on metallurgy and geology for NeoForge.

NeoForgeClient and serverCC0 1.0 Universal1.21.4 – 1.21.11

What it does

The mod adds a small set of metals and non-metal minerals, with new ores found underground. Ores are smelted and then combined into alloys, and the mod is built to treat metals in a uniform way, so one alloy recipe pattern covers several alloys. Invar is given as an example of an alloy crafted from its component metals. Sterling Silver is among the metals added.

The focus is on geology and mineralogy rather than a large content set, so the additions stay close to the theme. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Files are published for NeoForge only, across five release versions: 1.21.4, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11. The latest file is 1.2 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-02-24. The mod was first published on 2025-06-18. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is not open source.

Key features

  1. New underground ores

    New ore blocks generate in the world, adding mineral types to explore in mining.

  2. Smelting and alloys

    Ores are smelted into metal ingots, and the metals can be combined into alloys.

  3. Uniform metal recipes

    Metals share a consistent pattern, so alloy crafting follows one scheme across the set.

  4. Sterling Silver

    Sterling Silver is one of the metals added, with its own ore and ingot.

What the author says

Small mod focused on geology and mineralogy. Find new ores underground and smelt them and create alloys. Do you want GregTech without the technology (Greg) (aka 90% of the mod) and also slightly more vanilla-esque?
