Ore Tree
Grow minerals like trees!
This mod completely changes the approach to ore mining in Minecraft. Instead of traditional underground digging, you can now cultivate mineral plants right on the surface.
Basic Mechanics
For each type of ore in the game, special saplings appear that grow into full mineral trees. The unique feature is that these saplings can only be planted on corresponding ore blocks. As they grow, they form unique wood structures whose trunks, when smelted in a furnace, turn into corresponding metal ingots.

Crafting and Growth Acceleration
Crafting mineral saplings is quite simple - you'll need a regular vanilla sapling and a metal ingot. To speed up the growth of your mineral plantations, you can use ingots of the corresponding type as fertilizer.

Compatibility with Popular Tech Mods
The mod integrates with well-known technological modifications such as Create, Mekanism, Thermal Series, and Immersive Engineering, adding appropriate recipes for each of them.
