Ore Veines+
Ore Veines+ gives server owners and modpack authors control over how ores generate, covering vanilla ores and modded ores alike.
What it does
Vein size, spawn attempts, spawn height between minimum and maximum Y, and the biomes or dimensions where veins appear can all be set in the config. Global multipliers apply to every ore, while per-ore overrides adjust a single ore. Ores can also be disabled one by one, and the overworld, the Nether and other dimensions are supported. Modded ores are detected automatically, which keeps setup short in modpacks.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.2, and is licensed under the MIT License but is not open source. The project was created with IntelliJ and has an issue tracker and a wiki.
Key features
Vein size and spawn control
Each vein can be made larger or smaller, and the number of spawn attempts per chunk can be raised or lowered.
Global and per-ore multipliers
Global multipliers scale every vein at once, and per-ore overrides set exact values for individual ores.
Biome and dimension targeting
Veins can be limited to chosen biomes, and generation can be configured separately for the overworld, the Nether and other dimensions.
Automatic modded ore detection
Ores added by other mods are found automatically, so they can be configured without writing their names by hand.
Adds Iron, Emerald, Diamond and Netherite veins
The mod also includes Iron, Emerald, Diamond and Netherite veins alongside the vanilla ore generation.
