Omega Ores 1.4.0 (Minecraft 26.3)

Everything new since 1.2.0.

New Loaders

• Now available for NeoForge and Fabric as well as Forge, with the same features and the same config file on all three
• Fabric requires Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and adds the in-game Config button.

New Ores

• Deepslate variants of all 8 overworld ores. They generate in the deepslate layers automatically.
• Omega Quartz and Omega Nether Gold in the Nether
• Omega Ancient Debris: very rare, Y 8 to 24 in the Nether, needs a diamond pickaxe, and survives lava like vanilla debris

Mining and Drops

• Silk Touch now drops the Omega ore block itself
• Fortune now gives bonus drops (+25% per level by default, adjustable)
• Omega ores now drop XP when mined (none with Silk Touch)
• Explosions now destroy part of the drop instead of dropping the full amount
• New option: Iron, Gold, Copper and Nether Gold can drop raw ore instead of ingots, for ore processing and ore doubling mods
• New separate drop setting for Ancient Debris (1 to 32 netherite scrap, default 4), so netherite can stay rare without lowering the other ores

World Generation

• Every ore can be turned on or off, with its own spawn rate (veins per chunk) and vein size
• Spawn rates now differ by ore: Diamond and Emerald are rarer, Coal, Iron and Copper more common
• Omega Emerald now generates only in mountain and hill biomes by default, like vanilla emerald (can be switched off)
• Fixed Omega Coal and Iron spawning far up in the sky, which made them rarer than intended

Config Screen

• New in-game settings screen: Mods > Omega Ores Mod > Config
• Three pages: Drops, Spawn Rate and Vein Size, with tooltips on every option
• Changes save straight to config/omega-common.toml

Other

• New Omega Ores advancement tab with 6 advancements, including "Gotta Mine Them All" for mining every Omega ore type
• Updated ore textures to match the current vanilla style
• Added common c:ores tags and vanilla ore tags for better compatibility with other mods
• Proper block names in tools like Jade and WTHIT
• New mod list logo and description

Notes for Updating

• Existing worlds are safe. Your Omega ores and items carry over.
• New ores and new spawn settings only appear in chunks you haven't explored yet
• Your existing dropMultiplier setting is kept. New options are added to the config with their default values.
• If you want the old even spawn rates, set every ore to 6 veins per chunk on the Spawn Rate page
