Ryan's Ores N' Stuff
by tempestdev
Ryan's Ores N' Stuff adds two new ores, a Zenith Crystal tier of tools, an Ore Detector and a food item called Boerewors Rolls, for players who want end game content.
What it does
The mod adds a new resource, Boerewors, through Boerewors Ore, and a second ore, Zenith Crystal Ore. Zenith Crystal Ore is gated behind netherite tools, while Boerewors Ore is gated behind Zenith Crystal tools. That chain gives players a reason to reach the deeper ores before they reach the food. Caves are a stated source of a steady supply of minable food, and the Boerewors Rolls item is the food made from the new resource.
Development is described as a summer project by the author. Furnace and blasting furnace smelting are covered, and a custom crafting and processing station named Webber is in progress to process Boerewors and other materials. The Ore Detector helps locate the ores. The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1, and both the server and every player need it. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source, though a source repository and an issue tracker are public, and suggestions are taken through GitHub issues.
