Smallerveins
by dwebste29
Smallerveins caps the size of ore veins and lowers how often they generate in the world.
What it does
Smallerveins is a NeoForge world generation mod that limits how large an ore vein can grow and reduces the chance that veins spawn at all. Servers set the vein size cap and the spawn amount in its config. The server is where it runs, so it is required there while players may add it to their clients as well. Builds exist for NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source.
Key features
Vein size cap
Sets a maximum size for each ore vein, so veins stay small instead of growing into large clusters.
Lower spawn rate
Reduces how often ore veins generate, making ore rarer across newly generated chunks.
Config-driven limits
The size cap and spawn amount are set through the config, so server owners choose the balance.
Compatibility
