Ores Aren't Raw!

by Hooye11

Ores Aren't Raw! changes what iron, gold and deepslate ores drop when mined, so each one yields its own raw item.

What it does

Mining iron, gold or deepslate ore drops the matching raw item from the block itself, instead of the default result. Copper ore is left out, because it normally drops several raw copper and a single-item rule would change that. The change ships as a datapack, so it needs no mod code beyond the datapack loader. It runs on the server, and players may add it on the client for extra features. Builds exist for 1.17 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Self-dropping iron ore

    Iron ore, including the deepslate variant, drops its own raw iron when broken.

  2. Self-dropping gold ore

    Gold ore, including the deepslate variant, drops its own raw gold when broken.

  3. Copper ore unchanged

    Copper ore keeps its vanilla behavior, since it already yields several raw copper per block.

Questions

Does Ores Aren't Raw! have to be installed on the client?

No. The server is required, and the client is optional, so players can join without it.

Which loaders does Ores Aren't Raw! support?

Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Latest files target 1.20.6, and builds cover 1.17 – 1.21.11.

Why does copper ore not drop its own raw copper?

Copper ore normally drops more than one raw copper, so the mod leaves that behavior as it is.
