Rare Rich Veins

by zayden304

Rare Rich Veins adds large, uncommon ore deposits to newly explored chunks, generated by a separate system from vanilla ore generation, for servers on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

What it does

Rare Rich Veins creates large, irregular branching ore formations in chunks that a player has not yet explored. The veins are a separate generation system, so vanilla ore placement stays as it is, and existing chunks are never modified. Each vein can be placed in stone or deepslate variants where that fits. Generation follows the configured percentages during normal play, and the mod is intended to make a find feel like an event rather than a steady supply of materials.

The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it and the server runs it alone. It works in singleplayer worlds and on dedicated servers. Fabric API is required on every loader it targets, and the files target 26.2 only, with the latest build 1.1.0 published on 2026-07-22 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The mod is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Per-ore configuration

    Each ore can be enabled or disabled, and its generation chance, vein size range, height range and allowed dimensions can be set separately.

  2. Cave exposure and spacing

    Server owners can control how often veins break into caves and how far apart valuable veins are spaced.

  3. Testing commands

    A command forces a chosen ore to generate for testing, bypassing the normal chances, and reports the coordinates in chat.

  4. Reload without restart

    Supported configuration values reload without restarting the game or server, and a status command shows enabled ores and the current settings.

Questions

Does Rare Rich Veins need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed next to the mod on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt.

Do players need to install Rare Rich Veins?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.

Does the mod change ore that already exists in the world?

No. Veins only generate in newly explored chunks, and existing chunks are not modified.

Can the chance of each ore be changed?

Yes. Generation chances, vein sizes, height ranges, allowed dimensions and cave exposure can be set for each ore in the configuration.
