Tin Ore
by Leva25se
Tin Ore adds tin ore to the overworld, along with deepslate tin ore, a heavy tin block and matching items for the Technology category.
What it does
Tin ore generates naturally in the overworld, and a deepslate variant appears in the deeper layers, so tin can be gathered without any other mod. A heavy tin block can be crafted from four tin, and the items are grouped in creative tabs in the 1.19 builds.
The mod is limited to tin and the things related to it, so it suits a modpack that already has a tin requirement but does not want a large addition. It runs on client and server, meaning both the server and every player need it. Forge and NeoForge files are published for the 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 range, with 1.3.4 as the latest file for both loaders, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is not open source.
Key features
Tin ore in the overworld
Tin ore spawns naturally in overworld stone, giving players a source of tin in new worlds.
Deepslate tin ore
A deepslate version of the ore generates lower down, where the stone is harder to break.
Heavy tin block
Four tin are used to craft a heavy tin block, a denser block that adds a tin item to the build.
Focused scope
The mod only adds tin ore and related items, leaving the rest of the game unchanged.
