What it does

The mod changes ore generation: it shuffles the ores placed in a world, and it reads its settings from a JSON file that must be configured first. Only the client needs the mod, and servers run without it. Files are published for Forge 1.7.10, with 1.1.1 as the latest file released on 2021-11-29, under the MIT License, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Shuffled ore generation

    Ore generation is shuffled across the world, which gives modpacks a different distribution of veins.

  2. Recipe and dimension lookup

    Players can look up which dimensions generate an ore, along with details such as maximum vein size and Y-range.

  3. JSON configuration

    Generation options are set in a JSON file, and further details are described on the project wiki.
