This mod adds 'dense' versions of ore blocks that will drop 3x the items that regular ore will. It generates about 1-10 dense blocks per chunk (replacing already generated ores). for an overall increase in ores of about 5%.
The textures for the dense ores are dynamically generated from the base ores texture and the equivalent 'stone' texture. This means that you won't need to create a new texture for your texture packs (although you can create one anyway if you're not happy with the way it looks) .
In addition new ores can be added through the config system, details of which plus examples can be found of the github. Please note that this is intended primarily for modpack developers and as such is not recommended for basic users.
can you please make an update to 1.12.2 please, I've been trying to use dense metals but it's so broken
Really? You're still on 1.11.2 and haven't switched to 1.12.2 yet?

In reply to zetlasx3:
There is a new similar mod Called Dense Metals. It is exactly like Dense ores but for 1.12.x+ It also has some compatibility but mostly planned support for adding different modded metals and Ore.

Hello!
We're having trouble with Dense Ores in our 1.8.9 modpack here:
https://www.technicpack.net/modpack/robot-rainbow.1011770
We have had mostly success trying to configure it for modded ores. However we are having trouble with Sparse ores that generate in the nether. The Dense ores work fine, but we are running into crashes when trying to mine Sparse ores. The trouble seems to be that it can't figure out what to drop when they are mined and this causes a crash. Is there any way you know of to disable sparse ores only in dimensions other than the overworld from the config file? Or will we have to disable all Dense Ores ores that generate in dimensions other than the overworld? Or better yet, could you fix the 1.8.9 version to not crash if it can't figure out what to drop when a sparse ore is mined or to drop the right thing?
Thanks!

With underground biomes installed and Biomes o Plenty installed is there anything else I need to do to make Dense Ores spawn? I have not seen any dense ores yet...
And I know I need to go through all the mods that generate ors and add them but I'm not sure if I need to do anything else b/c of underground biomes and biomes o plenty....
Thanks for any help!
I would love to see a v1.12.2 :)
Surprise!
In reply to FN_WolframE:
I've been tweaking and experimenting with the resource-pack override functions and config file for the mod because my normal resource pack generates some of the vanilla textures oddly and I'd like something a bit cleaner.
Something changed between the MC1.7.10 Dense Ores 1.6.2 and the MC1.8.9 Dense Ores 1.8 Alpha 2.0.0 version to break how the mod overrides the texture path and the in-game command to export the base files. The Export Function and Resource Pack override works fine in DO1.6.2 but as soon as you update to the newer version it doesn't work anymore, and this carries up to the 1.11 version.
I'm no Java wiz, which means I don't know if this is due to changes in how Minecraft/Forge reads the mod texture path, or changes in the mod files between versions, so I'm hoping someone who actually knows what they're doing can help me figure out if there's something I can do to either the mod .cfg file or the .jar itself to get custom textures to work?
