Larger Ore Veins: Nether
Larger Ore Veins: Nether is a world generation mod that enlarges Nether ore veins, changing how many blocks each vein holds.
What it does
The mod slightly increases the generation of ancient debris, which can make it easier to obtain, and it enlarges the veins of Nether gold ore and nether quartz ore while reducing how often they appear. Vein size is set in the configured feature JSON files under data/minecraft/worldgen/configured_feature, where the largest allowed size is 64. Vein rarity is changed in the placed feature files under data/minecraft/worldgen/placed_feature by editing the count values, and some files use a rarity filter instead, a change planned for an upcoming update.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 13 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21. The server needs it, while players may leave it out. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0, and the code is not open source.

How it compares
No More Nether Gold Ore covers a related change for Nether gold ore and is published for 1.20 – 1.21.4 under the MIT License, with the same loaders. Only the server needs it, and either side can run it without the other. Ores Reduced is a Fabric-only server-side mod for 1.21.4 under the MIT License, so it does not change the same ore sets across other loaders.
