Firmalife: Better Chromium
An ultra-tiny datapack which reduces the size of Chromite veins to more realistic ones and allows crafting of Chromium and Stainless Steel plated blocks.
⬇ Download on ModrinthThis ultra-tiny datapack for Firmalife reduces Chromite amounts in veins from ungodly to acceptable, as well as allows the creation of Chromium and Stainless Steel plated blocks.
Chromite vein changes are only applied to newly generated chunks, same as with any worldgen update/datapack/mod.

Note: This datapack is a jury-rigged fix until EERussianguy (Firmalife creator) does something about it, since I have zero knowledge about Java.
