Unigue ores
by Xikex321
Unigue ores is a Forge world generation mod for 1.20.1 that adds new ore blocks to the Minecraft world, with each ore dropping its own item.
What it does
The mod places new ore spawns in the overworld between Y-56 and Y-0, deep underground where stone and other ores are found. Mining these ores requires an iron pickaxe or a better tool, so the new blocks fit into the usual progression from early mining onward. Each ore drops an amten shard or an Amten ore item when broken.
Adding ores of this kind mainly changes the variety of underground resources in a world. Players who want more mineral types to find and collect while exploring caves and mining tunnels will see new blocks alongside the vanilla ones. The mod is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it installed. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.8a2, an alpha build dated 2026-08-28. The code is not open source; the author keeps all rights reserved.
