What is Ore Chunks?
Ore Chunks is a modification designed to increase the game's difficulty by introducing an element of resource scarcity. The mod overhauls all ores, altering their drop mechanics. Instead of dropping the full ore, each ore now drops as chunks, which must be smelted to yield a single unit of the respective material. Once nine units are collected, they can be combined to form the complete item.
Planned
