Create: Endless Reserves

This addon for the Create mod introduces a completely new approach to automatically mining valuable ores in your Minecraft world.

Key Features

The mod adds unique crystals for various metals—iron, copper, gold, and zinc—to your world. These special resources can be found by mining regular ores. The drop chance for crystals is 0.5% for basic ore deposits and 0.7% for deepslate formations.

The centerpiece of the system is a special storage block that can hold ore crystals. Note that these crystals are extremely durable and can only be mined using the special drill from the main Create mod. The mining speed directly depends on the tool's rotation frequency.

Additional Configuration

If needed, you can integrate zinc crystals into the standard mining system by replacing specific files in the Create mod's archive. The corresponding file structure looks like this:
