Imaged Ores
by ishaaqr
Imaged Ores is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds new ores, tool and armor sets, a Crimson Iron ore and a rare enemy called Archmage.
What it does
The mod adds a new ore world while keeping close to the feel of vanilla survival. Emerald, Amethyst, Sapphire and Ruby each get their own armor and tool set, so players have more gear options and more steps of progression to work through. Crimson Iron Ore is a separate addition in beta, and its crafting uses are expected to change in later updates.
Version 1.0.0 introduces Archmage, an enemy found in rare locations that offers a challenging fight for experienced players. Defeating it has a chance to drop a food item that never runs out, and the drop is a strong reward, though it does not change the rest of the game.
Imaged Ores runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with version 1.0.0 released on 2025-05-14 as an alpha build. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
