MORE Ores Mod
by StickManny
With More Ores installed, new ore blocks spawn across the world and yield raw ore items that players smelt into ingots for crafting.
What it does
The mod generates additional ores through the overworld, so players can find them while exploring underground and break them with ordinary tools. Raw ore items are dropped when these ores are broken, and smelting them produces ingots and solid metal blocks that are used in new recipes. Nyxite and ruby blocks are among the materials added by the mod.
Ore finds are used to craft new equipment, including full armor sets and weapons that the author describes as strong in combat. The mod is built for NeoForge and needs no additional dependencies. Only the client and server need it, as both sides must run the mod. Files are published for 1.21.1 and 26.1.2, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
