Project Ores+

by GenModding

Project Ores+ puts new ores into the world, including a purple diamond-like ore, and gives lapis, emerald and amethyst more uses than vanilla.

What it does

Project Ores+ was made to use ores that vanilla leaves with little purpose and to add new ones. Lapis lazuli, emerald and amethyst receive tools, armor and other items, and the mod adds a few further ores as well. A purple ore is described as matching the strength of diamond, while a steel-and-coal ore is positioned at the top of the set. A rare ore suits players who want to reach the highest tier late in a game.

The mod also covers apples with special effects. Each apple type gives a different power, such as speed or haste from a copper apple. Lapis in the world can be used to build a nether portal shaped frame, ignited with a special igniter. The author notes that some textures are unfinished and that the mod is still in alpha.

Project Ores+ runs on Forge for 1.20.1 and needs to be installed on both the client and the server, so every player and the server need it. It is released under the MIT License but is not open source. The author describes it as an all-in-one tool mod, and it is noted as working on servers hosted through Aternos.

What the author says

A project i am working on that has a purpose of making a use of unused ores and making new, independent cool ores. Currently brings life to the lapis lazuli, Emerald, Amethyst and brings even more use to the other already used ores by Mojang. Some of the textures are not made by me, so the mod is currently in alpha…
