Ore Innovations
by Mr_Meloni
Ore Innovations adds new ores such as Rubies, Enriched Diamonds, Endium, Uranium and Electric Copper to the vanilla underground.
What it does
The mod extends the ores of the base game with new materials. Rubies, Enriched Diamonds, Endium, Uranium and Electric Copper are the named ores, and the last three are listed for 1.18 and later. Each new ore comes with combinations that give existing ores a different role, so mining and crafting follow a different path than the default one.
A player who finds the standard ore set limiting can use the mod to explore underground areas with more materials to gather. Because the author plans further ores for future versions, the list is expected to grow. Ore Innovations is published for Forge only, and the author notes that a Fabric port is unlikely.
Only the client needs the mod to display the new ores, and the server must run it too, since both sides are required. Files cover 1.17.1, 1.18.2 and 1.19.2, with 1.2.1 for 1.19.2 as the latest build from 2023-02-25. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

SnakeyFlea's Ruby Mod is released under All rights reserved and targets Forge for 1.17.1 – 1.20.1, so its ruby content covers a wider span of versions. More Than Enough Ores is also All rights reserved and covers Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.5.
