The Ores Dimensions
by As3t4t0
With The Ores Dimensions installed, a player can reach one of eleven new dimensions, each built around a vanilla mineral and its ore.
What it does
Each of the eleven dimensions is based on a vanilla mineral and carries its own decorative trees with wood, leaves and planks. The mod also adds new mobs to these worlds. Entering a dimension requires a set of eight blocks, along with a specific item or block that depends on the world, so the trip is a progression step rather than a single action.
The mineral line extends to seven levels of compression, from raw material through compressed and dense items up to full blocks. Special blocks serve as crafting material for tools, including a mining tool able to clear a 15 by 15 area in one pass. The weapons include swords with an extended attack range that can strike several enemies across a wider arc, and the top sword in the set can deal very high damage. A new apple called Heart is also added to improve a player's attributes.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, and the server and every player need it. Files are released under the MIT License, which does not make the project open source. The latest file, 1.0, is dated 2026-05-01, and the mod was first published on 2025-12-20.
