Ore Regeneration -> Bedrock Replace (or not)
- By
Converts all vanilla ores into regenerator ores. When mined an ore will be replaced with bedrock ore (unmineable). After a time period (configurable) the bedrock or will convert back to it's vanilla ore block.
Ore Respawn makes mining sustainable. When you break an ore, it regenerates after a configurable delay so caves and veins stay useful over long play sessions.
Features
- Respawns any block tagged as an ore (
c:ores/ NeoForge ore tags) - Configurable respawn delay (default: 5 minutes)
- Optional bedrock placeholder while waiting — marks the spot and blocks re-mining until the ore returns
- Instant mode: set the delay to
0and ores regenerate immediately - Survives world reloads — pending respawns are saved and resume correctly
- You still get the normal ore drops
Configuration
Edit the common config (orerespawn-common.toml) or use the in-game config screen:
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
respawnDelaySeconds |
300 |
Seconds before the ore respawns (
0 = instant) |
useBedrockPlaceholder |
true |
Replace mined ores with bedrock until they respawn
|
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge
How it works
Mine an ore as usual. After the break, the mod either restores the ore right away (instant mode) or places a placeholder and schedules the original block to return. Pending respawns are stored with the world, so they continue after a restart.
Great for SMP servers, skyblock-style worlds, or any playthrough where you want renewable resources without changing recipes or worldgen.
