Rings and a Uranium potion add further items. The mod is designed for survival and adventure play, and it runs on Forge and NeoForge for game versions 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, with the latest files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 dated 2024-11-30. It is not open source, and it is released with All rights reserved.
Key features
Ore generation
Each new ore spawns at set heights in the overworld or the End, so players must search different layers for each material.
Gem and metal blocks
Storage blocks for the new gems and metals can be placed as decoration or stored compactly.
Armor and tool sets
Matching armor and tool sets are crafted from each ingot or gem, covering sixteen materials.
Rings and a potion
Rings for six gems and a Uranium potion are included among the crafted items.

Use cases
Survival progression
A player mines a new material, crafts tools and armor from it, and moves on to the next tier of ores.
Who it’s for: Players who want more ore types and equipment tiers for a survival or adventure world. Server owners may also add it, because the mod runs on the server and on each player's client.
