Description
ZiNG’s Ores & Tiers expands Minecraft’s underground and progression system by adding new ore variants, material-based gear tiers, and advanced alloys and materials—all designed to feel natural within vanilla gameplay while offering fresh ways to progress.
This mod focuses on where materials come from, not just how they’re crafted.

Ores now generate in many stone types, increasing immersion and geological variety:
- Calcite
- Tuff
- Andesite
- Diorite
- Granite
- Basalt
- Terracotta
- Red Sandstone
- Sandstone
- Clay

Each variant blends naturally into its surrounding environment.
⚔️ New Material Tiers

- Resin
- Emerald
- Quartz
- Redstone
- Lapis Lazuli
- Amethyst
- Coal
These tiers provide alternative progression paths with unique acquisition methods.
🔧 Unique Weapon Progression
Unlike standard craftable weapons, tiered weapons in this mod must be discovered, not crafted.

- Found in mineshafts, not crafted
💜 Amethyst, 🟧 Resin, ⚪ Quartz, 💚 Emerald
- Weapons are found as loot in:

- Iron

Powerful constructs built from advanced materials to protect your world.
✨ ZiNG’s Ores & Tiers redefines mining, loot, and progression—rewarding exploration just as much as crafting.
