More Metals & Precious Minerals
More Metals & Precious Minerals adds twelve new ores with matching tools, armor and food, and the mod is published for Forge on 1.16.5.
What it does
Twelve new ores are the core of the mod, each with a different function. Players craft tools and armor from them, and some pieces carry a set of enchantments that belongs to that set alone. Certain ores can also stand in as fuel where coal would normally be used.
Candy Crystals are a colorful ore that breaks into candy gems, and those gems can be eaten. Jawbreaker is a food made from the same line and grants haste and speed when eaten. Beyond the ores, the mod includes several new sets of armor, tools and blocks, and a shield. The mod needs both the client and the server, so every player on a server running it also needs it installed.
The mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.16.5, and the latest file is 0.0.5, released on 2026-05-05. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. A wiki page is linked from the project for players who want the full list of items and their stats.
