Ore Stars
by BPS Mods
Ore Ingredients is a Fabric and Forge utility mod that adds crafting items made from familiar vanilla materials, meant for use in recipes.
What it does
Each item is a crafting ingredient made from one vanilla material, covering iron, coal, gold, diamond, lapis, emerald, redstone, copper, quartz, netherite and amethyst. The items are meant for recipes, so players and pack makers can use them as a component in other crafts rather than as a standalone decoration.
Modpack developers are the group the author names as the intended audience, since the items can be added to packs as a recipe option. Installing the mod on the client is required, while a server may run it for the same items. Both Fabric and Forge builds exist, and the Fabric version needs Fabric API. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.1 across eight release versions, and the latest file, 4.1 for 1.21.1, was published on 2025-04-29 for both loaders.
Key features
Material ingredient items
Items are made for iron, coal, gold, diamond, lapis, emerald, redstone and copper, each as its own item.
Nether and end materials
Quartz, netherite and amethyst also have items, extending the set to ores from the Nether and the budding crystals.
Recipe ingredients
The items act as crafting components, so they can be combined into other recipes in a pack.
Pack-friendly design
Because the items are plain ingredients, modpack developers can add them to their own progression without extra setup.
