Overworld Ores
by ShotUGMG
Overworld Ores adds nine ores to the overworld, along with metals, alloys, gems and a meteorite ore for cave exploration.
What it does
The mod places nine additional ore types in overworld caves and stone, and adds metals, alloys and gems that can be mined and processed. Its author describes the goal as more interest in cave adventures, with the ores meant to support progression past Netherite and a set of biome-based building blocks. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, though its source is publicly available.
