GeoVein

GeoVein is a NeoForge 1.21.1 world generation and ore processing mod that in addition to small vanilla-style ore blobs adds extremely large configurable ore deposits.

Instead of every ore block being the same, GeoVein deposits have graded ore chunks. The closer to the core of a deposit you mine, the better the ore can be.

Features

How GeoVein Works

The basic gameplay loop is:

Find a GeoVein deposit
→ Mine ore blocks
→ Receive graded ore chunks
→ Craft ore chunks into ore billets
→ Smelt/craft Billets into Ingots

GeoVein uses four ore grades:
| Poor        | Low quality ore         | 4 chunks make 1 billet 
| Common | Normal ore                | 1 chunk makes 1 billet 
| Rich        | High quality ore         | 2 chunks make 3 billets 
| Native     | Very high quality ore | 1 chunk makes 3 billets 

The ore grade is decided by where the ore block is inside the deposit.

By default:

Deposit core gives mostly Native ore
Inner deposit gives mostly Rich ore
Outer deposit gives mostly Common ore
Edge gives mostly Poor ore
