Ore Stages

by Darkhax

Ore Stages lets server owners hide ores and other blocks behind Game Stages, so players only see them after they earn the matching stage.

ForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 onlyOpen source1.12.2

What it does

Blocks such as ores can be placed under a stage. Until a player holds that stage, the block looks like a configured stand-in block and drops a replacement item when broken. Once the stage is reached, the real block appears and drops its usual items. Blocks can also be made to take longer to break until the stage is held.

Stage rules are written with CraftTweaker scripts, and the stage check uses the player who breaks the block. Where no player is present, such as an explosion or a machine breaking a block, the mod falls back to a default behavior the author describes in the configuration. Unhiding a block reloads the chunk renderers on the client, which the author notes keeps it quick even on slower computers.

Installation needs CraftTweaker and Game Stages, both required dependencies. Ore Stages runs on client and server and is published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with its latest file 2.0.38 for 1.12.2, dated 2023-06-07 on the alpha channel. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.

Key features

  1. Hidden ores and blocks

    Ores and other blocks can be attached to a Game Stages stage so they stay hidden until the player earns it.

  2. Stand-in appearance

    A hidden block can be shown with a different block's look, so the real ore is not revealed by its texture.

  3. Replacement drops

    Hidden blocks drop a configured replacement item when broken, and the real drop appears once the stage is held.

  4. CraftTweaker configuration

    Staged blocks, stand-in blocks and drop rules are set through CraftTweaker scripts, with exact block IDs supported.

Use cases

Progression packs

Modpack authors can keep resources such as diamond ore out of reach until players reach a chosen point in the progression.

Multiplayer servers

Server owners can tie valuable blocks to stages so that new players cannot break them before finishing earlier goals.

Who it’s for: Modpack authors and server owners who already use Game Stages and want to gate blocks by stage. Players on a server that runs the mod need no extra setup beyond the required dependencies.

Questions

Does Ore Stages need Game Stages to work?

Yes. Game Stages is a required dependency, and CraftTweaker is required too. Both must be installed alongside Ore Stages on Forge 1.12.2.

Do players have to install Ore Stages?

Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Staged blocks are only controlled from the server side.

What happens when a block breaks without a player?

Explosions and machines have no player to check, so the mod uses the default behavior set in its configuration for those cases.

What the author says

This mod is an addon for the GameStage API. It allows for blocks in the world, like ores, to be put into game stages. You should check out the GameStage API mod's description for more info. To give a brief run down, stages are parts of the progression system set up by the modpack or server. Stages are given to…
