Primordial Ore
by Jango660
Primordial Ore is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds several new minerals, among them Endium, Rubi, Pyronite and Enderite, along with the gear and machines built from them.
What it does
Each new ore comes with refined items, crafting components and special abilities. Players collect Elemental Essences for more advanced items and late-game processes, and craft rare materials by using upgrade gear that grants effects. The added content also includes dimensions, mobs and complex machines, plus additional crafting blocks that link the ores and essences together.
The mod slots into survival mining progression, and its ore and essence chain gives players a long path from early minerals to late-game equipment. Pyronite gear uses an Overheat mechanic, and Enderite gear shows Distortion visual effects. Special tools such as the Pyronite Excavator and the Enderite ShardBlade are included. The Miner Beacon raises the yield of nearby ore blocks by counting double drops.
