Ores and Metals
by Coliwogg
Players who want new metals for mining and gear will find Ores and Metals adds tin, mithril, adamantite and runite, inspired by RuneScape.
What it does
Ores and Metals adds ore blocks for tin, mithril, adamantite and runite, each with a raw material that drops from mining. The metals combine into bronze and steel, and each metal has its own tool and weapon tiers and a full armour set. The armour of the higher tiers is described as slightly above Stone Chainmail-level protection and stronger than Iron. The mod is meant to extend the mining and crafting progression of survival play, from early tools to late-game gear.
The new ores generate in the Overworld, and additional materials appear in the Nether and the End, so progression reaches across dimensions. The mod is open source under the MIT License. Its files target 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric, Forge and NeoForge each have a build for 1.21.1, and the latest file for every loader is 2.0.3 from 2026-07-02.
