Need More Ores
by RobertRgs
Need More Ores adds ruby and tin ores, with matching tools and armor sets, for players who want more materials in Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.4.
What it does
Between heights -64 and -22, Ruby Ore appears in the world and drops Ruby Fragments, and those fragments can be crafted into Rubies. Tin Ore spawns between levels -32 and 256 and supplies the materials for a full Tin set of armor and tools. Both metals feed the crafting recipes for blocks and gear.
The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric and Forge under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Latest files are 0.0.8 for 1.20.4 on Fabric and 0.0.5 for 1.20.1 on Forge, both in the alpha channel.
