Randomium Ore
Randomium Ore is a world generation mod that adds an unstable ore which turns into a random Minecraft item when broken.
What it does
Randomium blocks generate across the overworld. When a player breaks one with an iron pickaxe or better, the block morphs into a random item from the game. Mining luck affects how often a rare randomium crystal drops instead. Breaking the block is not always straightforward, because the ore often moves away when a player approaches it or tries to break it, and it can teleport out of reach.
The mod is configurable through its config files and through item and block tags, which a datapack can edit. The randomium:blacklist tag keeps listed items from being dropped or duplicated by randomium. The randomium block is also available as a decorative block with its own animation. Moonlight Lib is required on every loader, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Files cover 1.16.3 – 1.21.1 and the latest Fabric and NeoForge builds target 1.21.1.
