CraftOres
This mod enables players to craft ore blocks using corresponding resources and basic stone blocks.
The recipe costs are carefully balanced - even with Fortune III enchantment, crafting ore, mining it, and repeating the process won't yield profit.
Here are some crafting recipe examples:
4 coal + 1 stone = 1 coal ore block
4 iron (raw or smelted) + 1 stone/deepslate = 1 iron ore block
To view the complete list of recipes, use the JEI mod. Resource costs for each ore type vary depending on the standard amount of materials obtained.
The mod can run server-side only or simultaneously on both client and server.
