[W] Ore Variants
[W] Ore Variants adds sulfur, cinnabar and tuff ore variants to underground generation, next to stone types that vanilla already has.
What it does
Stone, granite, andesite, tuff, diorite, basalt and blackstone can carry ore variants in the mod's generation, so the same underground layers show a wider mix of ores instead of only the usual stone and deepslate. Sulfur and cinnabar are the added ores in this set.
Key features
Sulfur and cinnabar ores
Sulfur and cinnabar ores generate underground, adding new minerals to mining trips.
Ores in more stone types
Ore variants appear in granite, andesite, tuff, diorite, basalt and blackstone, not only in stone and deepslate.
Vanilla-friendly generation
The mod works through world generation and keeps the vanilla ores in place alongside its variants.
