Ore Mining Sounds
by M3FF1N
Ore Mining Sounds gives coal, copper, iron, gold, redstone, lapis, emerald and diamond ore their own mining sound when a player breaks them in the overworld.
What it does
Each listed ore plays a distinct sound while it is broken. The mod covers the regular ores and the deepslate variants that sit deeper in the world. Its stated aim is to make common ores like coal and copper less tedious to dig through, and to make rarer ores such as gold and diamond feel more rewarding to find. The sounds were created by mixing vanilla sound effects together, so no resource pack is needed.
The mod is a server-side install, so the server must run it and players may add it for the sounds. A server that wants the effect can use the mod or a datapack version of it. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 1.21.5 – 1.21.10, with v1.0d+mod for 1.21.10 as the latest file.
