Many Additional Ores
Many Additional Ores is a Forge world generation mod for 1.20.1 that adds new ores, tools, armor and drills to the game.
What it does
The mod brings in new ore blocks that generate in the world, along with matching tools, armor and drills. Some drills clear a 3x3 area in one pass. The content is loosely inspired by real-world ores, although several of the added ores do not exist in real life.
Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside the mod. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds target 1.20.1 only, and the license is the MIT License, which means the code is not open source under the usual definition of that term. The author notes that updates are planned to bring more ores and a Tin Workbench, with a Tin Enhanced Blast Furnace already listed as a feature.
