Iourus Ores

by WR_Eiden

Iourus Ores replaces the usual scattered ore blocks with large mineral deposits that players must find and dig through underground, for NeoForge 26.2.

What it does

Iourus Ores reworks Minecraft's traditional ore generation. Rather than spotting a few separate ores, a player searches underground for large deposits, and each deposit holds a different mix of metals, coal and mineral rocks. Size, composition, depth and rarity vary from one deposit to the next, which pushes exploration over repeated digging at a single spot.

Metals run from common ones such as Copper, Iron, Tin, Nickel, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Palladium to fantasy metals including Mithril, Orichalcum, Adamantite and Black metal. Some valuable metals come only from special mineral rocks, and resources fall into Poor, Rich and Deep Mineral qualities. Higher qualities need stronger tools to extract, so progression follows the deeper parts of the mining system. The mod requires Geckolib, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge 26.2 only, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Large mineral deposits

    Ore generation is replaced by deposits whose size, composition, depth and rarity differ from one to the next.

  2. Three mineral qualities

    Resources are divided into Poor, Rich and Deep Mineral tiers, each extracted with tools that match its quality.

  3. Gemstones and geodes

    Gemstone ores and geodes underground hold fantasy gems for later use in jewelry, equipment and crafting.

  4. Crusher and processing

    A Crusher and other specialized machines turn ores and mineral rocks into materials, with better yields as processing improves.

Yes. Geckolib is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Iourus Ores on NeoForge 26.2.

Does the server need Iourus Ores?

Yes. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player must run it.

Which tools are needed for the deeper minerals?

Higher-quality minerals need stronger tools to extract, which gives access to increasingly valuable resources as progression advances.
