zenith ores
by joey.otten13
Zenith Ores is a NeoForge world generation mod that adds seven new ores, along with special weapons, tools and armor crafted from them, to the Overworld, Nether and End dimensions.
What it does
The mod introduces Topaz, Velvetium, XP ore, Infernium, Chronium, Cobalt and Infinium, with more ores planned by the author. Each ore generates in the world, so a player who has mined the same stone for a long time finds new material to chase in all three dimensions. The author built the mod after noticing that ordinary diamond mining became repetitive, and the aim is a wider set of gems and metals to discover.
Crafting the ores gives access to special weapons and tools. A fire-setting blade, a Topaz sword that grants a health boost, a Velvetium sword that adds lifesteal, a Chronium wand that freezes an enemy's time, and a glass sword that trades high damage for low durability are all part of the set. Armor sets complete the content. The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.8 only, and the server alone needs it, so players connect without installing anything.
