Mine less. Build more. Vanilla ores with up to 32x resource drops.
Description
Omega Ores
Mine less. Build more.
Omega Ores adds condensed versions of every vanilla ore. Each Omega Ore drops a full stack's worth of resources instead of one, so a single lucky find can fund an entire build. No new materials, tools or armor. Just more of the vanilla items you already use.
Features
- All vanilla ores, condensed: Coal, Iron, Gold, Copper, Redstone, Lapis, Diamond and Emerald
- Deepslate variants of every overworld ore, generating naturally in the deepslate layers
- Nether ores: Omega Quartz, Omega Nether Gold and the very rare Omega Ancient Debris
- 8x, 16x or 32x drops, chosen in the config (default 32x). One download covers all three.
- Works like vanilla ores: Silk Touch drops the ore block, Fortune adds bonus drops, mining gives XP, and explosions destroy part of the drop
- Raw ore option: Iron, Gold, Copper and Nether Gold can drop raw ore instead of ingots, for modpacks with ore processing or ore doubling mods
- Separate Ancient Debris setting so netherite can stay rare (default 4 scrap, which is 1 netherite ingot)
- Full world generation control: turn each ore on or off, and set its spawn rate and vein size
- Omega Ores advancement tab with six advancements to find
- Mod compatibility: uses the common
c:orestags plus vanilla ore tags, so ore processors, recipe viewers and quest packs recognize Omega Ores

Configuration
Open Mods > Omega Ores Mod > Config in game, or edit config/omega-common.toml.
- Drops: drop amount (8x / 16x / 32x), Fortune bonus, raw ore drops, Ancient Debris amount
- Spawn Rate: veins per chunk for each ore, and whether Emerald is limited to mountains
- Vein Size: how big each ore's veins are
World generation changes apply to newly generated chunks. On a multiplayer server, the server's config file decides drops and generation for everyone.
On Fabric, the in-game Config button needs Mod Menu. Without it, edit the config file instead.

FAQ
Does it work in multiplayer? Yes. Install it on the server and on every player's client.
Can I add it to an existing world? Yes. Omega Ores generate in chunks you haven't explored yet. Already-generated chunks don't change.
Where did the separate X8, X16 and X32 downloads go? From version 1.2.0 onward there's a single download, and you pick 8x, 16x or 32x in the config. Older Minecraft versions still have the separate editions in the Files tab.
Is it balanced? That's up to you. Lower the drop amount, reduce spawn rates or shrink veins for a slower pace, or leave everything at 32x for a quick start.
