Phat Ores (Dense Ores)
by creamers inc
Phat Ores adds a denser variant of most world ores, so mining one block yields more of its matching item.
What it does
Phat Ores generates a Phat variant alongside the ores already in the world, with copper left out. Mining a Phat ore drops several of the corresponding item, for example 3 Lapis Lazuli from a Phat lapis block and 13 redstone from a Phat redstone block. Phat ores cannot be smelted, and they appear at the same heights as the normal variant but spawn less often, with roughly half as many generated.
The mod runs on NeoForge 1.21.1 and needs to be installed on both client and server. Its single file is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Nether ore variants are planned for a future version.
