💎 Expansive Ores
Expansive Ores is a big survival expansion for Minecraft Bedrock.
It adds new ores, materials, tools, armor, shields, tridents, bows, rings, totems, special mobs, custom tables, utility items and progression systems. The idea is to make mining and survival feel more complete without replacing the vanilla game completely.
This version cleans up a lot of older systems and makes the addon easier to understand in-game through the new Expansive Ores Guide.

📘 Expansive Ores Guide
The addon now includes an in-game guide to explain the main systems without needing to read the whole CurseForge page every time.
The guide includes:
- Ores & progression
- Gear & powers
- Materials
- Progression path
- Hammers & drills
- Rings & totems
- Armor bonuses
- Creatures and bosses
- Special resources
- Personal settings
- World settings
Every player receives the guide once when joining the world.
If you lose it, you can craft another one with:
- 1 Book
- 1 Topaz
⚙️ Personal & World Settings
V2.6 adds a cleaner settings system.
Personal Settings
Personal settings only affect your player.
Examples:
- Ore discovery messages
- Hammer preview
- Perfect Shot indicator
- Perfect Shot sound
World Settings
World settings affect everyone and require the world owner or an operator.
World settings include:
- Custom mobs
- Armor set bonuses
- Ring bonuses
- Ring linking
- Perfect Shot bonus damage
- Shield blocking
- Hammer 3×3 mining
This is useful if you run a Realm or want a simpler survival experience.
🪨 Ores & Progression
Expansive Ores adds several materials with their own role, generation and progression value.
Suggested progression:
Topaz / Rhodium → Onyx / Platinum → Jade → Ruby / Sapphire → Fluorite → Uranium → Amber
Materials include:
- Topaz
- Rhodium
- Onyx
- Platinum
- Jade
- Ruby
- Sapphire
- Fluorite
- Uranium
- Amber
- Salt
- Prismarine Ore
Ore Notes
Each material has its own place in progression. Some are better for mobility, some for damage, some for defense and others for special utility.
Salt is used for food content, while Prismarine Ore helps with prismarine-related progression.
Older ore images are no longer all shown here to avoid making the page too heavy, but the in-game guide now explains the progression better.
🛡️ Armor & Set Bonuses
Each armor set has its own stats and full-set bonus.
When armor bonuses are enabled in world settings, wearing all 4 pieces of one material activates its set effect.
Examples:
| Material | Full Set Bonus |
|---|---|
| Topaz | Haste I + Luck I |
| Rhodium | Resistance I |
| Onyx | Night Vision + Resistance I |
| Platinum | Haste I + Speed I |
| Jade | Jump Boost II + Speed I |
| Ruby | Strength I + Fire Resistance |
| Sapphire | Water Breathing + Speed I |
| Fluorite | Fire Resistance + Resistance I |
| Uranium | Haste II + Night Vision |
| Amber | Regeneration I + Health Boost I |
The armor system also tries to preserve external potion effects when possible, instead of simply replacing or deleting them.
🔨 Hammers
Hammers are mining tools that can break blocks in a 3×3 area.
- Sneak to mine normally in 1×1.
- Hammer preview can be enabled or disabled per player.
- Hammer 3×3 mining can be enabled or disabled globally by the world owner/operator.
- Hammers support vanilla-style enchantment compatibility.
Hammer Crafting Example
⚙️ Drills
Drills are made for fast mining.
Each drill keeps its own mining tier and can mine very quickly, but it no longer breaks Bedrock.
If a player tries to drill Bedrock, the addon blocks it and shows a warning.
Drill Crafting
Before crafting a mineral drill, you need the drill motor.
Then combine the motor with the drill and the material you want.
🏹 Bows, Tridents & Perfect Shot
V2.6 improves ranged combat.
Bows and tridents now use a Perfect Shot system.
When charging, the HUD can show:
- Charging
- Ready
- Perfect Shot
- Full Draw
Releasing during the Perfect Shot window can add +2 damage if the world setting allows it.
Perfect Shot also affects projectile speed through charge time.
Bow enchantment support
Custom bows support important vanilla bow enchantments:
- Power
- Punch
- Flame
- Infinity
Trident enchantment support
Custom tridents support important vanilla trident enchantments:
- Impaling
- Channeling
- Loyalty
- Riptide
Channeling works during thunder with open sky, and Riptide works in water or rain when conditions are valid.
🛡️ Custom Shields
Expansive Ores includes custom shields for the addon materials.
Custom shields now have improved blocking logic:
- Block frontal damage while sneaking.
- Work from main hand or offhand depending on the situation.
- Consume durability only when successfully blocking.
- Do not waste durability just because you punch or mine with the shield.
- Shield blocking can be enabled or disabled in world settings.
Shield Examples
💍 Rings & Totems
Rings can give useful effects.
Rings can work from the offhand, and with ring linking enabled, players can attune a ring to keep its bonus without occupying the offhand slot.
Ring linking can be enabled or disabled from world settings.
Ring bonuses include:
- Ruby Ring — Strength II
- Sapphire Ring — Speed II
- Jade Ring — Jump Boost II
- Onyx Ring — Night Vision
- Fluorite Ring — Fire Resistance
- Amber Ring — Regeneration I
Optional Novelty API support is included, so rings can also work with Novelty accessory slots when that addon is installed.
Gem Totems
Gem Totems are special offhand-style items with survival effects.
Totem Examples
🍎 Food, Salt & Potions
Salt is still part of the addon and can be used with food content.
The addon includes:
- Salt Ore
- Cooked versions of some vanilla foods
- Salted foods
- Mineral apples
- Custom potions
The new item lore explains many of these items directly in-game, so this page no longer needs to show every single old food image.
Salt Food Examples
🧟 Creatures & Bosses
Expansive Ores also adds creatures connected to its materials.
These mobs can make caves, deserts, the Nether and late-game exploration more dangerous.
Blocklings
Blocklings are mineral creatures that can appear underground.
They can be tamed, named, equipped and controlled with actions such as follow, sit, wander, guard or passive.
Gem Undead
Gem variants include:
- Gem Zombie
- Gem Skeleton
- Gem Husk
- Gem Pigman
- Gem Wither Skeleton
They can drop material related to their variant.
Monster Ore
Monster Ore is a stronger cave creature with high health and powerful attacks.
👁️ EnderCyan Boss
EnderCyan is one of the strongest enemies in the addon.
It is an Enderman infected by a cyan gem, with stronger health, damage and special attacks.
EnderCyan can:
- Use melee attacks
- Launch area attacks
- Apply strong knockback
- Summon enemies
It can drop EnderCyan Eye, a rare item used for progression.
EnderCyan Attacks
Basic Attack
Area Attack
Summon Attack
🧾 Item Lore & Translations
V2.6 improves the item information system.
Many addon items now show useful translated information such as:
- Item category
- Tool function
- Food value
- Potion effects
- Armor set bonus
- Ring bonus
- Totem behavior
- Perfect Shot info
- Drill warnings
This makes the addon easier to understand without filling the CurseForge page with too many old images.
