OrePacks Mod
by CyberPuska
OrePacks Mod adds a set of ores, armor, tools, biomes and a new dimension for Forge, with most ores crafted into equipment.
What it does
Most of the ores in the pack can be smelted and crafted into armor, tools and weapons, and some ores also work as ingredients for other ores. Tin is common and Ruby is rare, with gear better than diamond. Platinum sits at about diamond level. Fossil is common and appears only in desert biomes, while Cobalt is very rare and found in snowy biomes. Malachite is rare and only useful for a helmet. Lead replaces iron in several crafts and has its own crafting station for armor and tools.
The end-game ores reach past diamond and netherite. Vibranium is found in the Vibranium Forest, and Endrite is a rare end-dimension ore. Soul Ingot, Magma Rock and Blazed Ingot are made from many nether components, and Crocidolite is the final, rare ore used for the last upgrade of the Soul Ingot. Uranium is a radioactive fuel used only in the Lead Factory.
The mod also adds a Mining Dimension, where players can dig without worrying about destroying the world. The main dangers there are nearby lava pools caused by high temperature in the sky. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.16.5 and 1.18.2, with 2.0.0 for 1.18.2 as the latest file. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
