Ores In Trees
by JammyMDR
Ores In Trees is a world generation mod in which ore-bearing trees appear in the world, for Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1 and 1.21.8.
What it does
Trees grow with ore in their trunks and leaves, so a player who finds one can harvest the ore while cutting it down. Crafting from the logs follows the same pattern, with nine logs turning into one block of the same ore. The mod adds Lapis Lazuli trees and a livelier leaf style that sets these trees apart from the rest of the landscape.
Client and server: both the server and every player need the mod. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.8, with the latest Forge file at 10.7 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file at 09.04.2026 for 1.21.8. The code is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Ore-bearing trees
Trees generated in the world carry ore, which drops when the trunk or leaves are broken.

Nine logs of an ore tree craft into one block of the matching ore.
Lapis Lazuli trees
A tree type that yields Lapis Lazuli is added to the world, with leaves that differ from vanilla trees.
