OuterOres
by Nekoniyah
OuterOres lets filter blocks on NeoForge turn water flowing past them into ores, so players in skyblock worlds can get minerals that are otherwise hard to reach.
What it does
Six tiers of filter blocks are added, each stacking a higher output tier on the same setup. Water placed behind a filter produces cobblestone ores and items one tier above the filter's own, on a cycle of 60 ticks. The Copper Filter generates only Copper Ore and is crafted from sand and a Wooden Filter.
The mod is aimed at skyblock maps and other worlds where minerals are scarce, extending the idea of mineral generation past what vanilla terrain offers. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.5 as the latest file from 2026-04-16. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source.

Use cases
Skyblock progression
On islands with few resources, a filter stack provides ores that the starting island does not contain.
Early mineral access
Players who have no nearby ore veins can build a Wooden or Stone Filter early to start collecting.
Who it’s for: Players on skyblock maps and other sparse worlds, and server owners who want a mineral source that does not depend on terrain generation.
