Realistic Mining

by PrussianGuy

Realistic Mining makes ore harvesting harder by changing what ore blocks drop, so resources take more effort to obtain.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Mining iron, gold, copper and deepslate ore yields rough chunks that players must work into the finished metal, rather than the refined item itself. Gem ores drop the matching shards, which are crafted into the gem, and ancient debris drops ancient pieces that are crafted into ancient clumps before smelting into netherite scrap. Realistic Mining runs on Forge for 1.20.1 and is needed on both client and server, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Harder ore drops

    Iron, gold, copper and deepslate ores yield guessed chunks, not the finished items players expect from mining.

  2. Gem shards

    Gem ores drop shards that must be crafted into the corresponding gem before use.

  3. Ancient debris chain

    Ancient debris drops ancient pieces, which are crafted into clumps and then smelted into netherite scrap.

What the author says

Ore blocks such iron ore, gold ore, copper ore (and their deepslate versions), will drop, you guessed it, chunks instead that can be crafted into their original drops. What about gems? Good question, gem ores will drop corresponding shards that can be crafted into a corresponding gem.
