SimpleOres2
by Sinhika
SimpleOres2 adds four ores to the base game, with metal bars, doors, bricks and tools that follow the same pattern as vanilla ores.
What it does
The mod adds four unique ores, each with its own balanced properties and armor and tool sets. Copper, tin, mythril and adamantium come from the overworld, while onyx is found only in the Nether. Most ores drop raw metal like vanilla ores do, and onyx ore drops a gem instead. Other content, such as copper bars, doors, bricks and brick slabs and stairs, rounds out the metal brick blocks.
SimpleOres2 requires SimpleCoreLib and BucketLib, which must be installed alongside it. Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional and is used for recipe viewing. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.7.10 – 1.20.6, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
