Ore Plus x4

by wen_wen

Players who want more ore on their maps can use Ore Plus x4, a data pack that raises the spawn rates of vanilla minerals during world generation.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.01.16.2 – 26.2

What it does

Ore Plus x4 changes the default ore generation of Minecraft by multiplying the probabilities of the vanilla mineral rates, so the packs named after this factor produce roughly four times as many deposits of each covered ore. Adjustments are made through data pack files rather than code, which is why the mod is shipped as a data pack for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

Only the server needs Ore Plus x4 to run the change, so a player can join a server that runs the data pack without installing anything, while singleplayer and multiplayer worlds take the change when they are created. The author recommends installing it before a world is created, since existing chunks keep the ore they already have.

Files cover 1.16.2 – 26.2 across 37 release versions, and snapshot builds are also published. The code is under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source. Public links for the source code, the issue tracker and the wiki are available, and the wiki explains the details of the generation changes.

Key features

  1. Higher spawn rates for vanilla ores

    Spawn rates of common vanilla minerals are raised, so each chunk holds more deposits of them.

  2. Adjustable ore generation

    The generation values are set in data pack files, and the packs are named after the multiplier they apply.

  3. Discard chance control

    Discard chance controls how often ore generation is dropped when the ore would be exposed to air, and lower values make ore appear more often on surfaces.

  4. Issue tracker for bug reports

    The author accepts bug reports and feature requests on the public issue page.

How it compares

Full comparison

OreFix is server required with client optional, under the MIT License, and covers 1.18 – 1.21.11, so it targets a shorter version span than Ore Plus x4. More Ancient Debris (5x) is open source under the MIT License, targets 1.18.2 – 26.1.1 and is also server required with client optional, but it changes only Ancient Debris rather than a set of minerals. Ore Plus x4 is not open source and covers the wider 1.16.2 – 26.2 range.
