Adds XP drops to iron, gold, and copper ores — just like coal and the rest. By default, these ores don’t give experience unless smelted. This mod changes that.
Now, when you break iron, gold, or copper ore (including deepslate variants) without Silk Touch, you’ll get a small amount of XP right away — just like other ores.
Features:
- Works on both client and server
- No mixins or hacks — just clean Fabric API
- Compatible with modpacks
- Lightweight and plug-and-play
Great for survival servers or anyone who wants mining to feel a bit more consistent.
