Restore Ore
by mwz116
Restore Ore changes how ore blocks are placed in the world, so that players who want original ore layouts can have them on Fabric.
What it does
Restore Ore puts ore back into a configuration similar to the original generation, with the ore placed in the middle of a surrounding circle of stone or netherrack. The author built it to fix ore decoration that players could not reproduce with enchantments, aiming to keep the change from breaking game balance. The mod runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it. Files exist for Fabric on 1.16.5 and 1.18.2, the latest being 1.0.1 for 1.18.2 from 2025-02-06, and the code is under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain.
Key features
Original ore placement
Ore is generated in the middle of a ring of stone or netherrack instead of the default scattered pattern.
Balance kept intact
The change is meant to leave ore rarity and progression as they are, so survival pacing stays close to vanilla.
Server-side change
Only the server needs the mod, so players connect without installing anything extra.

What the author says
Do you want to use ore to decorate your vault, but can't find the enchantment? This mod can help you without breaking the balance! You can restore the original ore by placing an ore ingot in the middle and surrounding it with a circle of stone (or netherrack,NOT cobblestone)!
