Ores Recipes!
by InventoXtar
Ores Recipes adds shapeless crafting recipes that turn stone gems and other basic materials into Diamond Ore, Iron Ore and Gold Ore.
What it does
Recipes that once took a long time to gather ores can be crafted directly from stone gems. The mod adds shapeless recipes, so the ingredients can be placed in any slot of the crafting grid. Additional recipes let stone gems convert into several ore types, such as Iron Ore and Diamond, which shortens the path to those materials.
The recipes keep resource use fair, so the crafting costs stay balanced against the effort of mining. The mod is delivered as a data pack and also as a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt mod. Server owners run it with the required side, and players may add it on the client. Files exist for 1.20 – 1.21.4, with 2.5-mod for 1.21.4 as the latest build, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
