Yet Another Uranium Mod
by Donidin
Yet Another Uranium Mod adds a second uranium ore to the overworld, with a crafted rod and a furnace fuel path for players who collect it.
What it does
The ore spawns between Y -64 and Y 0 in the world. Only a diamond pickaxe or better can collect it, and collecting it without the right conditions leaves the surrounding dirt base destroyed. Raw uranium can be smelted in a furnace, and the smelted material works as furnace fuel.
Uranium rods are crafted from two iron ingots and one uranium ingot, and a stack of rods holds up to 128 items. Making more than three rods without precautions exposes the player to radiation, so the mod asks players to handle them carefully. Yet Another Uranium Mod needs no other mod to run, and it is published for NeoForge only.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Its files target the 1.21.1 game version, the first build went up on 2026-08-13 and the latest NeoForge file, 1.1.1, was published on 2026-09-01. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Overworld uranium ore
A uranium ore block generates underground between Y -64 and Y 0, giving a new source of the material.
Diamond-tier mining
The ore requires a diamond pickaxe or a better tool to yield raw uranium, so early tools cannot collect it.
Uranium rod crafting
Rods are made from two iron ingots and one uranium ingot, and a stack holds up to 128 items.
Radiation exposure
Handling more than three rods without precautions exposes the player to radiation, which the mod uses as a limit on stockpiling.

This mod adds uranium to Minecraft. (please pretend you didn't read the mod's name) Uranium ore spawns at Y -64 and Y 0. It can only be mined with a diamond pickaxe or better.
