OreLibrary
by BlackWolf00
OreLibrary is an ore-generation and metals library that adds five new ores, their raw materials and alloy recipes to worlds built on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Their height ranges follow the vanilla ores, and the deepslate variants are placed by height as well. Each ore drops a raw material, similar to how vanilla iron and gold behave, and a Raw Block form stores those materials. Fortune increases the drop count, while Silk Touch returns the ore block itself.
Smelting and blasting turn raw materials into ingots, and ingots into nuggets and storage blocks. Several alloys are made by blending metals, and the blend is then smelted or blasted into an alloy ingot. A recipe becomes available in the recipe book once a player picks up one of its ingredients. All metals use the common tags such as c:ingots/tin and c:nuggets/lead, so other mods can use them in their recipes.
Installation is the same for every loader. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.19.2 – 26.3 across six release versions. It is meant to work alongside Solar Generation and other mods that use the same metals. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and its source is not public.
