Gregtech:Modern Ore Generation Standalone
by fmbellomy
Gregtech:Modern Ore Generation Standalone splits the ore generation of GregTech into its own NeoForge mod, so modpack makers can use it without the rest of GregTech.
What it does
Ore veins from GregTech are generated by this mod alone, while the wider content of GregTech stays out of the game. The original GregTech:Modern is a large mod, and this standalone version isolates the ore system so a pack can take only that part. Build configurations need Configuration and LDLib, which are required dependencies on NeoForge for 1.21.1.
The author describes the mod as mostly useful to modpack developers, who can implement their own ore veins to fit specific needs. Some tweaking unhooks GregTech's custom ore system so that the veins work with conventional Minecraft blocks. Map integrations such as EMI, Jade, Just Enough Items and KubeJS are optional, and only a pack that needs them will install them.
The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.21 and 1.21.1, with mc1.0.6 for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge file. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source.

What the author says
Do you want to use GregTech's ore generation but not the rest of GregTech's absolutely enormous breadth of content? The time for celebration is upon you, my dearest pack developer. For context, I put this together by cloning GT:M and just deleting everything that I could get rid of without breaking ore generation…
