MZ's Better Ores adds new functions to existing ores, among other new ores, to the game. It's worth remembering that the mod is in its first version and we intend to add many Vanilla features in the future.
We've now added Enderite ore, found in The End, which can make your tools extremely durable. Another notable ore is Cryolite, which, when smelted with other heatable materials, speeds up the smelting process.
Below, you can see the initial version of all the physical additions:
