UnOredinary (Legacy)
by Xun
Players who explore cold and dark parts of a world can find UnOredinary ores, tools and armor, added by this NeoForge world generation mod.
What it does
Frosteel is crafted from an Iron Ingot with a frosteel upgrade smithing template, and it upgrades iron tools and armor to a tier that is stronger than iron but weaker than diamond. Frosteel ore appears in ice biomes such as frozen ocean, and frozen tombs, a new structure, generate in cold biomes and hold the template. In cold biomes, frosteel weapons and tools hit harder, and a frosteel pickaxe clears a 3×3 patch of ice in one swing. Frosteel armor makes a player take freeze damage when walking on water.
Luminthium is made by combining luminite crystals with a Copper Ingot, and it sits at roughly the same level as iron. Luminthium armor grants night vision, and a luminthium helmet marks enemies within a certain radius. Solarite is crafted into tools and armor, and its weapons set enemies on fire for extra fire damage. A solarite pickaxe smelts the ores it mines. Ores for each material are placed in their own biomes, including lush caves and lava pools below y level 0, where some are extremely hard to find. The mod also adds ice bricks and other building blocks, along with variants of vanilla structures. Installation covers the server and each player's game.
