radiation: extra materials
by Solar16Flare
Radiation: Extra Materials adds ores, metal tools, armor, weapons and a stronger TNT to a NeoForge world, and it is still early in development.
What it does
New ore blocks come from the volgurite, uranium, nether diamond and enderite materials, and the mod describes them as four minerals and four ores. Volgurite tools are in place except for the shovel, which is planned, along with hoe and spear tools for volgurite, uranium, nether diamond and enderite. Ore generation currently works for volgurite and uranium, while nether diamond generation is expected in a later build.
The author describes the project as a first attempt and notes that some blocks and materials still need fixes. A bomb made from eight iron ingots with a uranium center is listed as stronger TNT. A miscellaneous weapon, the End Staff, is crafted from end stone and enderite; it deals 30 damage and wears out after 20 uses. A dimension named Red Taiga is also mentioned, described as a taiga biome tinted red.
The mod runs on NeoForge 1.21.8 only. Client and server both need it, so every player on a server that runs it installs it too. Files were first published on 2026-02-15, the latest build, 1.0.1 for 1.21.8, followed on 2026-02-18, and the code is under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source.

How it compares
More Tools For Ores is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, client and server, under All rights reserved, and is not open source. More Ores Plus is also NeoForge for 1.21.1 with the same environment and license. Spears is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.8, client and server, under All rights reserved, and is not open source, so it matches this mod's version but covers only spear weapons.
