SacredTree Mining
by LyaUnbound
SacredTree Mining changes which items drop when players break stone-based ores, adding raw metals, lapis lazuli, gold nuggets and netherite scrap to the results.
What it does
Mining an ore in stone can yield extra items at random. Raw copper, raw iron, raw gold, lapis lazuli, gold nuggets and netherite scrap are among the drops, and the chance of each depends on the stone being mined. Version 2.0.0 also drops experience bottles along with ores.
The mod is a server mod at heart: the server runs it and players can join without installing anything. Enchantments on the mining tool change how many items are returned, and Silk Touch still returns the ore block itself. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for game versions 26.2 – 26.3, and the code is closed, under All rights reserved.
Installation is a single file per loader; the Data pack option is listed for servers that prefer datapack-style setup. The author keeps a public issue tracker for reports.
