Mineral Chance
by Serilum
Mineral Chance is a server-side mod that gives a small chance of a bonus mineral each time a stone-type block is mined.
What it does
Breaking a stone-type block in the overworld can yield a random mineral. The eligible blocks include the common stones of the surface and the deep layers, while in the nether the rocky blocks of that dimension qualify. The default chance is 1 in 50 in the overworld and 1 in 100 in the nether, and every mineral in a group has the same chance of dropping.
Overworld results are gems, metal nuggets and a dye-type mineral, while nether results are a crystal, a nugget and a rare scrap. Mining with Silk Touch disables the drop. Mineral Chance is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires Collective and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 29 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.3, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Overworld mineral drops
Several common stone types in the overworld can drop a mineral when broken.
Nether mineral drops
The rocky blocks of the nether can drop a crystal, a nugget or a rare scrap.
Configurable chances
Separate drop chances for each dimension can be set between 0 and 1 in the config.
Silk Touch and fake players
Silk Touch mining drops nothing, and simulated players from other mods can be excluded from drops.
Find message
A chat message can notify the player who found a mineral, with its text editable or turned off.
