Description

Raw Ore Pellets

This mod adds three new items: Raw Copper Pellet, Raw Iron Pellet, and Raw Gold Pellet. These items function as the equivalent of nuggets for raw ores.

Raw Ore Pellets

Mining changes:

Ore blocks no longer always drop raw ores - The drops depend on the tool used:

  • Lower-tier tools (e.g. stone pickaxe) drop a small number of pellets
  • Higher-tier tools increase the amount of pellets dropped
  • Diamond pickaxes and above drop raw iron and raw gold as in vanilla
  • Copper pickaxes and above drop one raw copper.

Copper is limited to a maximum of one raw copper per ore block (same rule as iron or gold).

Smelting:

  • Pellets can be smelted into their corresponding nuggets
  • Raw ore blocks can be smelted directly into their corresponding metal blocks
  • Smelting times are adjusted to remain consistent with vanilla balance

Purpose:

  • Gives a purpose to copper tools by making iron rarer only during the early game
  • Makes early-game mining less efficient than mid/late-game
  • Preserves vanilla behavior for high-tier tools
  • Reduces the amount of copper obtained from mining to a reasonable value
