Time of year ore
by SayNooty
Time of Year Ore adds four ore types whose spawn depends on the biome a player is in, each tied to a season: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn.
What it does
Each season has its own ore, and it generates in the biomes that match it: Winter Ore in winter biomes, Spring Ore in warm biomes, Summer Ore in hot biomes and Autumn Ore in cool biomes. Exploring different regions of a world therefore brings different ores, and the set can be combined into interseasonal ingots that craft into interseasonal armor, which is covered in the features below.
The mod is built around exploration. Players can find a range of survival items and decorations scattered through the world and a hideout, and they can trade with a peasant farmer for leaves that are useful later. The content is translated into English, Russian and German. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, for game versions 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, and the code is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
Key features
Biome-based ore spawns

Trading with farmers
A peasant farmer accepts trades that give leaves, which have uses later in the game.
