Unique Materials
by MinecraftBA
Unique Materials is a Forge world generation mod for 1.21.1 that adds new ore blocks and resources, along with three new tree types.
What it does
Several of the ores are paired with a smelting recipe: Rutile Ore yields Titanium, Bauxite Ore yields Aluminium and Olivine Ore yields Silicon. The new materials are meant to serve as ingredients for crafting, so the creative part of the game has more to work with.
The mod also generates three new trees, adding wood types to the overworld. Because it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, the source code and issue tracker are publicly available. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. Its first and latest file is 1.21.1-0.2.0, published on 2024-09-28.
The author describes the mod as being in an early development phase, with many items and textures still missing. Players should expect the content set to grow as development continues.
