Ore Enchantments
by blacknovery
Ore Enchantments changes how iron, gold and copper ore drop when players dig them out, on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Breaking iron, gold and copper ore yields more output than vanilla, which makes gathering these metals less of a chore in survival worlds. The effect is applied to the ore drops themselves, so the extra material comes from the same blocks players already dig up.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Only Forge is supported, and files target 1.20.1 alone, with 1.0.0 released on 2026-04-27. Ore Enchantments is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Iron ore drops
Breaking iron ore returns a larger amount of iron than the vanilla drop.
Gold ore drops
Gold ore yields more gold per block, reducing the number of ores needed for crafting.
Copper ore drops
Copper ore produces an increased copper return when broken.

Use cases
Early-game metal gathering
Players collecting iron and copper for tools and armor can gather the metals in fewer trips underground.
Server economies
Server owners who want ore to yield more material can install the mod on the server alongside the players' clients.
Who it’s for: Survival players and server owners who find iron, gold and copper gathering slow on Forge 1.20.1 and want larger ore returns.
How it compares
Auto Smelting Enchantment is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that is server-side only and released under All rights reserved, so it changes the output of broken blocks without any client install. Legacy Ore Drops runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 and is server required with the client optional, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. No More Copper Ore covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.19 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and No More Nether Gold Ore covers the same loaders for 1.20 – 1.21.4 under the MIT License, both with a server-required, client-optional environment.
