Overview
Yet another mod that adds ores and furnace conversion recipes to the Nether and the End.
Version 1.4+ Features:
- Exploding ores
- Netherfish mob
- Monster eggs for the Netherfish and Endermite
- Ores can now drop items, including experience
- Ores can now be smelted direct to items, including experience
- Rewritten config
Ore Generation
Other mods such as CoFH World will be needed to control the ore spawning. Sample configs are provided for CoFH World, check here. Extract the ore generation configs from the provided zip file to config\cofh\world\ of your modpack instance in order to use them. Nether ore generation is based off config settings from the last release of the Nether Ores mod by skyboy026/powercrystals for MC 1.7.10. There are some minor changes, including adding ores that never existed in that mod. The End uses similar settings to the Nether but reduced size/count as the height range of naturally generated End Stone is far less.
Recipes
The furnace recipes to smelt the nether/end ores to the closest ore dictionary matching ore. The amount of ore block outputted varies based on the recipe multiplier in the config. Ores which do not originate in the Overworld, act like silk touched versions of their overworld ores recipe wise, this is done for balance but is reconfigurable.
Machine Processing
Basic recipes for Tinkers' Construct, Thermal Expansion, IC2, Mekanism and Immersive Engineering are available to directly process the ores. Thermal Expansion recipes have config settings that can compensate for augments improving balance. Integration can be disabled in the config if not wanted.

Honestly, this is one of the most clever mod names ever
Is CoFH World a required dependency for this mod or is it just for configuration? do you need it for the ores to actuaslly spawn?
In reply to minefire200:
The mod will run without it but yes you need it for ores to spawn as that is the only generation mod that I have written config files for.
I really want this mod to update to 1.15.2 so I can finally finish my modpack.
Is 1.15.2 ever going to become an option? If so, would ores have ore generation built into them?
In reply to timguy33:
I doubt I will try a mc version update for a long time. A lot of code has to be rewritten to update a mod past 1.12.2. Some of the coding has been done in ways to help porting though. As for whether a built in generator will be provided that is a decision that I would make at porting time.
I'm annoyed these don't generate on their own, but nice mod otherwise
In reply to vizthex:
Utlimately I don't think it would have been hard to integrate ore generation. I just liked the flexibility that an external generator added. I use CoFHWorld to generate every ore possible when doing modpacks. Being able to generate ores for say 10 different mods from 1 mod alone that has different generator types makes it easy to do from a central location. When I get my modpack finished I will upload my final configs for that too to give people more examples to work with.
In reply to ic_trab:
Yeah I understand it, but don't those mods just override existing ore gen?
Also I did notice you've published a "default" settings config, if you linked to that on this page that would help a lot I think.
In reply to vizthex:
CoFHWorld doesn't just override existing ore gen, it is the framework that Thermal Foundation provides its ore generation files for. The config project does much the same thing except the files are not embedded in the .jar, they are manually put in by the user. The config files project is mentioned under the Ore Generation heading in the second sentence in the above description and has a direct link to the config project. I could perhaps make the whole thing a bit more prominent.
Ok it is done, one day I will try to update to a newer minecraft version but for now I want to concentrate on my communities modpack. Any issues please let me know :)
Getting closer to that 1.4 release, there is just 1 more issue and 1 more feature I want to look at addressing before releasing it. The release will be an alpha as so much has changed since that 1.3 release eleventy million years ago.
Can I assume that since you've updated this page that version 1.4 will release soon? I've been following the commits on Github and it looks like you've made good progress.
In reply to fauxredtester:
I am most of the way there, final testing and debugging. Should be done in the next few days, ran out of time this weekend.
I'm using T'sconstruct mod and I don't see any vanilla/T'sconsturct ores. Can u help please?
In reply to hikariyuki:
Hi, did you install CofhWorld and the configuration files?
i noticed in the description that you have listed cofh world, is this a dependency for the mod to work or is it more of a qol?
In reply to maggeemooTV:
i apologize, but i actually have another mod im adding needing cofh world anyways, thank you though!
In reply to maggeemooTV:
Yeah there is no dependencies in the mod, just no ore generation happens without a mod to generate the ores and configuration files to do so.
I think this is a good mod that should be added into vanilla, probably not the amount of ores, but something close to this, I always thought the nether could use something in modded Minecraft, and here it is :D
