QOLGenerators
by sam021800
QOLGenerators gives players four renewable block generators for stone, logs, nether blocks and ores, built on item and block tags.
What it does
Each generator produces a set of blocks from a tag, so the stone generator yields stone and the blocks listed in the overworld base stone tag, such as andesite and tuff, at their own chances. The log generator produces logs, including stripped variants, from the Minecraft logs tag. The nether generator outputs netherrack along with blackstone, basalt, soul sand and soul soil. The ore generator selects ore blocks through the Forge ores tag, so ores from other mods that join that tag can appear too.
The mod is aimed at players who want a simple, renewable source of common resources without mining for them. Because generation is handled through tags, the generators also pick up some modded blocks. The author states that the mod was written to reduce server and client lag caused by cobblestone and basalt generators. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with 2.0.0 as the latest file, released 2025-05-15. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.
