Description
🌳 OreTrees
Grow your resources instead of mining them.
OreTrees completely changes how you obtain materials in Minecraft.
Instead of endlessly strip-mining caves, you can now farm your ores — cultivate trees that naturally produce valuable resources over time.
Plant saplings, nurture your grove, harvest acorns, collect resin, and process it into hardened amber or raw materials to unlock metals and crafting components. Your base slowly becomes a living factory powered by nature.
This mod is designed for skyblock, expert packs, and players who enjoy automation and progression.
🌱 Core Concept
OreTrees introduces a new progression system based on agriculture:
You don't find ores anymore.
You grow them.
Each resource type has its own tree. As the tree matures, its leaves generate materials that you harvest and process into usable metals and items.
Your first tree is simple…
Your final grove becomes an industrial ecosystem.
🍂 Resource System
Acorns
Small resource drops produced by leaves.
They are the primary material used to craft nuggets, dusts, and early components.
Resin
A sticky extract gathered from the trees.
Used together with acorns to form crafting compounds and metal precursors.
Amber
A refined material created by processing resin.
Amber acts as a stabilizer — allowing you to solidify resources into usable crafting materials.
Acorns + Resin + Amber = your metals.

📈 Why OreTrees?
Mining is random.
OreTrees is progression.
Instead of hoping for luck in caves, your resources come from planning, farming, and scaling production. The more you build, the richer you become.
You don't just build a base.
You grow an industry.
