More Mine
More Mine, a NeoForge mod by XingYang_lc_11, adds new ore types that generate through the vanilla ore system and smelt into unique metal ingots.
What it does
The mod introduces new ore variants that follow vanilla generation rules: ore distribution matches the biome rules, and the new ores keep the hardness and explosion resistance tiers of the vanilla ores they sit beside. Cave generation and mob spawns are left as vanilla, so exploring and extracting resources feel the same.
New ores smelt in a furnace with the same one-to-one input and output ratio as vanilla ores, and they yield unique metal ingots. Original iron and diamond pickaxes still break the new ores, so the new tool types are not required to reach them. Enchantments such as Fortune and Silk Touch keep working on the new blocks.
Installation needs only NeoForge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for four game versions, 1.21.4 – 1.21.7, with 1.5.0 for 1.21.7 as the latest file, under All rights reserved. The source code and issue tracker are public, but the code is not open source.
Key features
New ore types
Additional ores generate through the vanilla ore generation system, so they appear where vanilla ores do.
Vanilla-matched textures
The new ores use a grayish-white color scheme and keep visual consistency with vanilla textures, such as silver ore.
Decorative ore blocks
Ore blocks are also available as decorative blocks for building, with some variants showing varied chromatic effects.
Smeltable metal ingots
Each new ore smelts into its own metal ingot, which opens paths for crafting with materials the vanilla game lacks.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits survival players who want more resources without changing how ore generation works, and server owners who want to add economic components to a NeoForge world.
