Miner's Minerals - Extensive Mineral Collection
The Miner's Minerals modification introduces over 50 different metals and precious stones into the game, significantly expanding crafting and exploration possibilities.
A distinctive feature of this addon is its unique ore generation system. Some minerals can only be found in specific locations - for example, in gravel or beneath jungles. Ores that appear in blocks like gravel use the texture of the base material, allowing them to blend organically into the environment. Instead of traditional clusters, ores generate in veins where each block connects to adjacent ones on the sides (without corner connections). This eliminates situations where you miss individual ore blocks while tunneling through stone. When no visible ore blocks remain - it means the entire vein has been completely mined!
All minerals can be used to create tools, armor, and weapons. This includes three new weapon types: shurikens, spears, and greatswords.
Already started a new adventure? Don't worry! Miner's Minerals will generate ores in already existing chunks. (New stone types added by the modification will not appear in previously generated areas.)
Configuration
Two configuration files are available. Each accepts resource identifiers. Each entry must be on a separate line.
dimension_blacklist.txt - dimension blacklist. For example, add these two lines if you want to prevent ore generation in the overworld and Twilight Forest dimension:
minecraft:overworldtwilightforest:twilight_forest_type
When using this configuration, ores will only appear in the End, Nether, and other permitted dimensions.
base_blocks.txt is used to add blocks from other mods to the base blocks list. Adding blocks to this list will allow ores to generate in them. Example:
quark:marblequark:limestonebyg:soapstoneminecraft:gravel
