Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Ore Deposits — screenshot 1

This small project adds ore deposits, little stone mounds that infinitely generate ore on top. Ore deposits are similar to ore nodes from the game Satisfactory. They are designed to be used with factory mods but can work in vanilla. They can generate ores from mods, as long as the ore generates at or above y=8 (and if they are in the mod loader's ore tag). Ores spawn as falling blocks, so they can be broken in vanilla. All overworld ores can spawn as deposits, meaning it can break the progression of the game.

The ore that an ore deposits will spawn is determined when it is first loaded. It will scan its chunk and use the first ore that it finds that is at or above y=8.

Older versions of this project will not scan and are only compatible with vanilla and create.

You are free to use this in any modpack.
