ORECraft
by victordlp8
ORECraft adds a mineable resource called ORE, along with ore blocks and a raw form of the material, to a Fabric world for 1.21.1.
What it does
Players dig ORE out of new ore blocks and carry it as a new item. The concept borrows from cryptocurrency mining, so ORE becomes a layer of gameplay: players earn it through mining, use it inside Minecraft and trade it with other players. Mining settings can be adjusted in the configuration, and client-side commands manage the mining process, with a list of available commands shown in the game.
ORECraft requires Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu. Cloth Config API supplies the settings screen, and Mod Menu opens it from the mod list. The mod runs on client and server, so a server that uses it needs it, and every player who joins that server needs it too. Files are published for Fabric only, with 0.0.8-alpha as the latest build, released on 2024-10-08 under All rights reserved.
Key features
New ore blocks
Dedicated ore blocks, including a deepslate variant, hold the ORE resource and can be mined like other ores.
Raw ORE item
Mined material appears as a raw form of ORE, which players carry and use in the wider game.
Configurable mining settings
Options adjust the mining behavior and let players tune the experience to their preferences.
Client-side mining commands
Commands handle ORE mining and are listed in the game, so players can check what is available.
