jays-ores
by JayCChambers
Jay's Ores adds metal and gemstone ores to newly generated terrain, with two gem types found by digging gravel and a set of trace-element ores.
What it does
The mod places new metal ore blocks and gemstone ore blocks into world generation, and each metal comes with smelted ingots, nuggets and metal blocks. The precious and gem ores shimmer, and the set also includes vanilla ores such as diamond, gold and emerald ore.
Everburning ember is a special item that serves as unlimited furnace fuel, but it can only be obtained through commands in creative mode. The mod uses the standard c:tags for metals and gems, so other technology and storage mods can recognize its materials.
Jay's Ores is a Fabric mod for 26.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.5 for 26.2 as the latest file. Installation covers the server and each player's game. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The mod requires Fabric API 0.156.0+26.2.

Use cases
Finding materials in existing worlds
The author recommends using MCA Selector to delete already explored chunks selectively, so new ores can be found without traveling into unexplored chunks and without destroying player bases.
Who it’s for: Players who want more ore variety in a personal or small server world, and server owners who intend to add a limited set of world generation items over time.
