by MehVahdJukaar

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.

Key features

  1. Random item drops

    Breaking a randomium block with an iron pickaxe or better yields a random Minecraft item.

  2. Crystal drops

    Randomium crystals can drop from the ore, with the chance raised by mining luck.

  3. Evasive ore

    The block often moves when a player tries to break it, and it can teleport away, making mining unpredictable.

  4. Decorative block

    A randomium block with a distinct animation and mechanic is available for building.

Do players and the server both need the mod?
