Mundane Redstone Ore
by ShyNieke
Mundane Redstone Ore swaps the vanilla redstone ore for a version that does not glow or emit particles when a player touches it.
What it does
Vanilla redstone ore lights up and emits particles whenever it is interacted with. This mod replaces that block with a redstone ore that keeps the same appearance and drops but stays dark and quiet. It has been maintained since 2017 and was made at the request of a community member. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player install it together. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across 22 release versions, 1.16.3 – 26.1.1, and is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Non-glowing ore
The replacement block does not start glowing when a player steps on or mines the ore.
No interaction particles
Redstone particles that normally appear when the ore is touched are removed from the replacement block.
Same ore identity
The block keeps the vanilla redstone ore look and drops, so worlds and recipes built around it continue to work.
