by Bugpig03

Need Ores - Void Miner adds four machines that produce ores from the void, powered by Forge Energy, for Forge on 1.20.1.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

The mod adds four new blocks, one per tier. Each block draws Forge Energy and, once running, produces a randomly chosen ore at a fixed interval. Higher tiers produce an ore faster but consume more energy per tick, so the larger machines need a bigger power supply.

Only the client needs it, and servers need it too. It is published for Forge on 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2023-12-30. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Four generator tiers

    Tier 1 produces one ore every 30 seconds, and tier 4 produces one every second, each drawing more energy per tick than the last.

  2. Random ore output

    Each cycle yields an ore picked at random, so the output of a machine varies over time.

  3. Forge Energy demand

    Every tier runs on Forge Energy, and the consumption climbs steeply from one tier to the next.
