Noor's More Ores.
Noor's More Ores adds several new ores that generate naturally in the Overworld, along with the ingots and materials made from them.
What it does
The ores appear at different depths and frequencies, so players who dig deeper and explore caves find them more often. Their placement follows the stone and deepslate layers of the base game, and rarity is set so that new materials do not flood early progression. Mining stays the central activity, with the added ores giving it more variety over time.
New ingots and crafting materials come out of smelting and crafting processes that already exist in Minecraft, and steel is among the added materials. The additions are tuned against vanilla resources instead of introducing new dimensions, machines or interface systems, so the mod sits inside the normal progression curve. Tools, weapons and armor sets built from these materials offer choices rather than sudden power.
Only the client needs it, according to the environment, but it is listed for client and server, so the server and every player must run it. Files are published for Forge only, across five game versions 1.14.4 – 1.19.4, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Naturally generating ores
Several new ores spawn throughout the Overworld alongside stone and deepslate.
Depth-based distribution
Each ore appears at its own depths and frequencies, which rewards travelling deeper underground.
Familiar crafting and smelting
New ingots and materials are made with the same recipes and furnace steps that vanilla uses.
Vanilla-balanced rarity
Spawn rates are set against existing vanilla materials, so early game resources are not overwhelmed.
