Kc's Growable Ores
by XsquadKc
Kc's Growable Ores lets vanilla ores, including deepslate variants, grow back into ore blocks after being mined, and is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Ores such as ancient debris, ender pearls and blaze rods can be grown from growable versions of the original ore blocks. The growable ores work alongside Botany Pots, and the mod adds support for other mods that add growable reed versions of ores, including Applied Energistics 2, Mystical Agriculture and Extreme Reactors.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player must run it. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 22 release versions, 1.7.10 – 26.1.2, and the 1.7.10 version has its own automatic content generation system that registers ores in the Ore Dictionary. The code is covered by the MIT License, but the project is not open source. Forks and additional support are not covered by this card.
