Ore³

by Dibuf

Ore³ is a NeoForge world generation mod that adds a set of custom ores to the overworld, each with its own way of being obtained, for players who find vanilla ores too familiar.

What it does

The author describes the mod as a set of custom ores, planned at over 100, that replace parts of the vanilla stone and andesite layers. Each ore is placed as veins within a set height range: one group appears between Y=16 and Y=32 by replacing stone, and another between Y=-48 and Y=128 by replacing andesite. Veins are described as usually found in clusters of up to thirteen blocks.

Ore³ is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.4 only, released in beta as version 0.1.0 on 2025-08-22. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is not open source; it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, which restricts commercial use and redistribution of modified versions.

Key features

  1. Custom ores with unique methods

    Each ore is meant to have its own method of obtaining it, so the mod goes beyond simply adding new ore blocks.

  2. Tool tiers for each ore

    The author plans tools for the new ores in wooden, stone, iron and cobalt tiers, with cobalt tools at level 7.

  3. Ore textures

    Textures for the ores are already implemented in the current release.

  4. Planned ore set

    Upcoming ores include Cobalt, Amethyst, Titanium, Echo, Leaf, VoidSteel, Zephyr and Chromium.
