LMT
by FARSTBITER
LMT adds a few small items to the game: sulfur, saltpeter and two new ores that feed gunpowder crafting, plus a charcoal storage block.
What it does
The additions are deliberately small. Sulfur and saltpeter are the two new ores, niter and sulfur, which were balanced so that together they support crafting gunpowder. Some of these ores are found only in the Nether and in a limited set of other biomes, not across the whole overworld. A charcoal storage block is also added so charcoal can be kept in bulk.
LMT requires Fabric API and works with Mod Menu as an optional companion for its configuration screen. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the MIT License, and files are published for 26.1 and 26.1.1, with 26.1 as the latest Fabric file. The author notes that a future release may add more utility for rotten flesh and some natural treasures.

Use cases
Gunpowder production
Players who collect niter and sulfur can craft gunpowder without relying only on vanilla sources.
Charcoal stockpiling
Players who smelt large amounts of wood can keep the charcoal in the new storage block.
Who it’s for: Players who want a light addition to vanilla survival, mainly for gunpowder and charcoal, and server owners who want a small set of extra ores on a Fabric server.
How it compares
Realistic Gunpowder Craft is a Fabric mod for 26.2, client and server, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Ore Overhaul is also a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.2, client and server, under All rights reserved. ZA - gunpowder is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, and it is client and server as well. TotemAlchemy is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and covers 26.2 – 26.3, so it is not tied to the same version as LMT.

What the author says
LMT is primarily a tutorial mod for learning modding, but it doesn't add tutorial things, but rather... all sorts of things that you'll likely find useful. There are no plans to provide specific compatibility with mods like REI/JEI/EMI/WTHIT. Most of the features will be technically integrated into the game, whether…
