📖 About

Denser Ores is a modern remake of RWTema's classic Dense Ores. A small share of the ores in every new chunk generate as dense ores: tougher-looking versions with the same hardness and tool requirements, but they drop 3x the loot and smelt into 3x the ingots.

🧩 Optional Integrations

Install any of these and every one of their ores gets a dense version automatically. No addons required.

WORKS_WITH AllTheOresWORKS_WITH AllTheModiumWORKS_WITH FTB_Materials

Ores from any other mod can be added in the config.

📦 Requirements

LOADER NeoForge

LOADER Fabric REQUIRES Fabric_API

Install on both client and server, and use the same config on both.

⛏️ Features

  • 3x drops. Mining a dense ore rolls the ore's own loot table three times. Fortune, Silk Touch (gives you the dense ore itself), loot modifiers and XP all keep working.
  • 3x smelting. Every smelting and blasting recipe for an ore gets a dense copy that returns three times as much. This includes recipes from other mods and tag ingredients.
  • Natural generation. About 4.9% of generated ores become dense, in every dimension and biome, including ones added by other mods.
  • Retro-generation. Existing worlds get dense ores in chunks you haven't visited since the mod was added. Each chunk is only processed once.
