Simple Resource Generators
Simple Resource Generators is a NeoForge technology mod that adds machines producing ore from nothing, with loot tables set by tier.
What it does
Generators in this mod create ore without any input, so a player who wants a steady supply of resources can place one and collect the output. Each machine runs on a timer and draws its drops from a loot pool tag, with a common pool and a rare pool defined for every tier. The basic generator rolls its common and rare pools every 10 seconds and drops one item per roll, while the refined generator works faster, every 8 seconds, and drops two items.
The mod is built for players who want automated income in survival or on a multiplayer server without setting up a mining chain. Because loot is defined in data tags, server owners can change what each tier yields by editing those tags. It was rebuilt from the ground up for more recent versions of Minecraft, and the current files target 1.21.1 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
Key features
Ore from nothing
Machines produce ore out of thin air, with no drill, input item or fuel needed to run them.
Timed loot rolls
The basic tier rolls every 10 seconds and drops one item, and the refined tier rolls every 8 seconds and drops two.
Common and rare pools
Each tier draws from a common and a rare loot pool, both set through tags such as the basic common and basic rare pools.
Tier upgrades
Higher tiers cost more to build and produce more resources at a faster rate, so progression is tied to what the player can afford.

What the author says
This Mod has been Rebuilt from the ground up and updated to more recent versions of minecraft. Do you want free resources that just kind of appear. well this mod will give you that... well for a cost. each tier of generator gets more expensive to make but also generate more resources and operate faster.
