ores=more
by matthew57
Ores=More adds four new ores to the game for Forge 1.20.1, each with its own tools, armor and status effects.
What it does
Each of the four ores is a tier in a progression. Score is the tier 1 ore and has a distinctive purple hue; its armor inflicts weakness on enemies. Viridinium is a green ore that serves as a unique resource and poisons enemies on contact. Mernor is recognized by its striking orange color and sits at tier 3; its armor grants swift movement while slowing opponents. Light Stone is the tier 4 ore, with a blue geode look; it inflicts levitation on enemies and its armor gives a strong Everlight effect that amplifies combat strength.
Seaum is a rare turquoise material found only in shipwrecks. Its inflicted effect is drowning, and a full Seaum armor set grants water powers, including breathing and fast swimming underwater. Ores=More is a server-side mod: the server runs it and players join without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The only published file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2024-08-11, for Forge.

How it compares
Charvile is client and server, published under All rights reserved for Forge 1.20.1, so it must be installed on both sides. Utilitiez is also client and server, licensed under the zlib License and built for Forge 1.20.1. MZ's Better Ores is client and server as well, but covers Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.4 under All rights reserved. Ores=More is server-side only, so players need nothing installed.
