Rail World
Rail World adds infinite ore veins to the world, partly inspired by the rail world of Factorio, and a monocle item that points to the nearest vein.
What it does
Rail World generates ore veins that spawn without limit as the player explores, in three sizes: small, common and rare. A monocle item, once equipped, guides the player to the nearest infinite vein. The mod is meant to encourage logistics across the map, such as trains and ice boat tunnels, instead of quick travel between distant points.
The author notes that biome generation mods make infinite veins rarer to find, and that transport mods such as Waystones make travel too convenient, which works against the intended pace. Rail World is published for Fabric on 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.2 for 1.20.1, dated 2023-11-09.
