Overworld Quartz ore
Overworld Quartz ore adds quartz ore to the overworld, so quartz can be gathered outside the Nether with the same spawn and drop rules.
What it does
The mod places quartz ore in overworld biomes. Spawn rates follow the same uniform distribution covering the height range that Nether quartz ore uses in the Nether, and each block drops the same amount of experience as Nether quartz ore. The mined item is still named Quartz in the English locale.
Installation needs no dependencies on Fabric or Forge. Files are published for Fabric and Forge for 1.19.2 only, with 1-fabric and 1-forge as the latest builds, both dated 2023-05-27. Overworld Quartz ore runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 and is not open source, although public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
