Dense Metals Mod adds new types of ore blocks called dense ores. These special ores spawn in small groups right next to their normal counterparts, like dense iron appearing near regular iron ore. When you mine a dense ore block, it drops more resources than a standard one, making your mining trips more efficient.
Features:
- Adds new dense ore blocks to your world.
- Find dense ores spawning right next to their normal ore clusters.
- Get more resources from dense ores, typically double the amount of a regular ore.
- This mod works with MMD OreSpawn for better ore generation.
