orechunkcrafter
by Ouuija
orechunkcrafter lets players craft ore from ore cane found in the overworld, then smelt the chunks it drops for raw material.
What it does
Ore cane grows in the overworld. A player finds a cane, breaks it, and collects the ore chunk it leaves behind. Chunks can be smelted in a furnace or a blast furnace, and the resulting ingots are used in later crafting. Ore cane does not regrow once the bottom block is the only one left, so the supply depends on how many canes remain in an area.
The mod targets players who tire of mining the same resources over and over. Right now only iron ore is supported, and the author states that more ore types will be added in later updates. The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only, and it is needed on both client and server, so the server and every player must install it. The 1.0.0 build was released on 2025-08-01 under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Ore cane in the overworld
Ore cane generates in the overworld and is the source of ore chunks, so mining ore blocks is not the only route.
Chunk drops from breaking cane
Breaking a cane yields an ore chunk that can be picked up and carried to a furnace.
Furnace and blast furnace smelting
Ore chunks smelt in both a furnace and a blast furnace, producing the ingots used in crafting.
Crafting ore from cane
Ore is crafted from abundant cane, which gives a steady route to material.
