Ores Core
by __mathieu
Ores Core is a library for unifying ore, ingot and plate materials across mods, with generated resources and in-game configuration for each material.
What it does
The library replaces duplicate materials from different mods with one shared set of tags and items, so a single tin ingot can serve every recipe that asks for one. Textures, models and loot tables are generated at runtime, and only the materials a modpack actually uses are created, which keeps the footprint small. Generated ores take on the look of their host stone, whether vanilla, modded or granite and basalt, and each one can emit light, produce particles or be affected by gravity.
Ores Core runs on client and server and is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 26.1 – 26.1.2 under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, which is not open source. Ores Mods is an optional companion that handles the material unification, while the core provides the generation, tags and configuration screens. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release versions.
Key features
Material unification
Identical resources such as ingots and plates from different mods are merged under one set of tags and items.
Dynamic asset generation
Textures, models and loot tables are produced at runtime for the materials in use, instead of being shipped as static files.
Configurable materials
Mining level, hardness, resistance and visual properties can be overridden for each material through an in-game configuration screen.
Custom ore generation
Ore shapes such as plates, horizontal and vertical veins and blobs can be placed with distributions including gaussian and trapezoid curves.
Host block matching
Generated ores are added to vanilla and modded stone, with textures that match the host block's physical look.
