More And Ore
More And Ore
This mod requires CuriosApi.
The More and Ore mod significantly expands game content by adding numerous new ores and metal tiers that allow character development beyond diamond and netherite equipment. Along with player empowerment, various monsters and creatures appear that can counter the increased power. Additionally, the mod reworks the standard progression system by placing a powerful opponent who blocks access to the deep caves beneath the amber layer.

Future plans include reworking the mob spawning system to increase interest during mid-progression. Currently, the mod adds two tiers of elite mobs and two world states activated after defeating bosses. Elite mobs have their own titles and special abilities related to their elemental nature: fire, ice and earth for the first tier, lightning and giant aspects for the second. The "Blood Moon" state activates enhanced undead and new mobs with unique mechanics unlocked after defeating the corresponding boss.

The mod also adds various Curio accessories with passive and active abilities, including items for stat boosts, buffs, movement improvements, and set bonuses. Additionally, visual customization options for characters are expanded.

Various mod functions can be configured through game rules, including world generation, boss spawning with arenas, preservation of boss summoning items, and other parameters for adjusting progression speed.

Progression
Brief progression guide:
- Basic development until obtaining iron tools and armor
- Other ores and metals are found for creating equivalent equipment
- Passing through the amber layer requires diamond tools and the Amber Lord's trust
- To earn trust, defeat Kismet summoned using the Amber Chalice
- Recommended: full iron armor, shields, iron weapons or items from chests opened with keys from frog eaters
- Diamonds are rare, but their variant generates in amber, allowing diamond and netherite equipment
- Suspicious Dirt occasionally appears on the surface, providing random items including a worm scarf accessory with resistance
- After defeating Kismet, equip the Amber Lord's trust accessory and access the area below the amber layer at y=0
- Next stage - collecting cobalt dust from cobalt ore and Asphatlos using a diamond pickaxe. Cobalt is comparable to netherite and essential for survival in deep caves. Asphatlos is enhanced coal but may explode or release poison gas
- Mithril is the next progression level, mined with cobalt or netherite pickaxe. This stage is less challenging as players adapt to local mobs and can explore the White Floor
- The White Floor generates dangerous dungeons and Adamantite - the final progression stage (excluding Titanium at the bottom of End islands). Obtaining Adamantite requires recognition from Lost Souls
- Creating an orichalcum pickaxe requires traveling across surface, ocean and End
- To complete the process, defeat the Coalescence of Souls summoned in the Nether using the Soul Lantern. This boss is very strong, fast, deals high damage and heals by consuming Lost Souls. Recommended to fight with friends or thorough preparation
- Remaining mod content including Blood Moon, Bahamat, Algorithm Matrix, Narchisse and Demon Queen is mostly optional
