SimpleNetherOres
by paulevs
SimpleNetherOres adds ore blocks to the Nether dimension, each dropping its own set of items when mined.
What it does
Players who travel to the Nether find extra ore blocks there: coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone, glowstone and lapis. Each type drops a different result, so the mod changes how Nether mining yields. The mod requires StationAPI, which provides the modding framework it is built on, and it is published for the Babric loader only.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and source code and an issue tracker are public. Snapshot builds have been published alongside the release, which was first posted on 2025-04-15 and last updated on 2025-05-17. BH Creative is an optional dependency that can be added beside it.
Key features
Nether ore blocks
Coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone, glowstone and lapis ores are generated in the Nether dimension.
Coal and diamond yields
Coal Ore drops 1 coal, and Diamond Ore drops 1 diamond when mined.
Smelting iron and gold
Iron Ore and Gold Ore drop themselves, and smelting them yields an iron ingot or a gold ingot.
Variable drops
Redstone Ore drops 1 to 5 redstone, Glowstone Ore drops 2 to 4 glowstone, and Lapis Ore drops 3 to 6 lapis.
Ores list
A list of every ore the mod adds is published with the project for reference.

Use cases
Nether resource gathering
Players who need redstone, glowstone or lapis can collect them in the Nether rather than only from the overworld.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners running StationAPI can add the ores so that every connected player gets the same Nether resources.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who run StationAPI and want more ores in the Nether dimension.
How it compares
No More Nether Gold Ore is a server-side option for 1.20 – 1.21.4 under the MIT License and is not open source, so it changes Nether gold differently and targets newer versions. Ores Every Dimension is a Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.20.6 with client and server support, also under the MIT License and not open source, and it adds ores across several dimensions. SimpleNetherOres is limited to the Babric loader and covers only the Nether.
