Ores Galore
by SmartKirb99
Ores Galore, a Forge world generation mod by SmartKirb99, adds new ores that generate across the world along with a Chorus-based wood type and a Chorus Pickaxe needed to extract one of them.
What it does
The first ore, Operum Ore, appears everywhere in the overworld and is the main addition of the mod. The author notes that it is strong enough to shorten progression, so players may prefer to skip it unless they want the ore. Ender Ore is the second ore, and it can only be extracted with a Chorus Pickaxe, a tool made from a new chorus wood type.
The chorus wood type is crafted from chorus fruit: four chorus fruits form a log, which yields planks like any other wood. Green Ender Ore is a stronger variant of Ender Ore, listed in the creative inventory. A new flower block joins the End, and it can be combined with chorus fruit to make chorus flowers.
Ores Galore runs on Forge and needs both the server and each player to have it, since it changes world generation and adds recipes and items. It is published for 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, and it is labeled a beta, with the author hoping to release a full version later. The mod is made with MCreator and is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
