No Ore Mining
No Ore Mining is a Fabric world generation mod that changes how ore appears underground, with tiny ore splitters placed in the ground.
What it does
The mod targets players who dislike the creepy cave areas that vanilla generation produces. Instead of relying on those caves for ore, it places small ore splitter formations in the ground, and these yield vanilla ores. Mob drops are also added as a separate part of the mod's design. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Its files target 1.21.8 only and are released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source.
Key features
Ore splitters in the ground

Fewer creepy caves
Players who want to avoid dark cave areas can collect ore from the ground-level splitters instead.
Added mob drops
The mod adds ways to obtain mob drops, extending the item sources available in survival worlds.

Don't you hate mining in those creepy caves? I do! That's why I made this mod to generate tiny ore splitters on the ground which can be crafted into vanilla ores. Future Plan: - Add ways to get mob drops
