uranium ore
Uranium Ore adds a late-game ore that generates naturally in the world, along with a tool tier and armor set stronger than Netherite for NeoForge 1.21.8.
What it does
Uranium Ore generates in the world and is mined for a new material, uranium, which is used in crafting. Its tools form a new tool tier that sits above Netherite, and an armor set follows the same progression with higher protection than Netherite armor. Everything can be obtained through survival play, and the mod is not built around cheats or creative-only items.
The additions follow the existing progression of vanilla Minecraft rather than replacing it. The author describes the goal as a new endgame tier that stays close to vanilla gameplay, so a world can keep its normal pace while adding a step after Netherite. Machines, generators and tech trees are not part of the mod. Client and server both need Uranium Ore, and the files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8.

How it compares
New Ores and Weapons is client and server, released under All rights reserved, and published for 1.21.8, and it covers a wider set of ores and weapons. Ore Uranium is server-side only, under All rights reserved, also for 1.21.8, so players can join without installing it. Teeko's Pink Diamond Ore runs on client and server under the MIT License for 1.21.8, and it adds a single pink diamond ore instead of a full uranium tier.
