Harder Ores

This mod increases the difficulty of mining by making ores harder to obtain.

Main Features:

Ore Processing: Ores no longer drop raw materials or gems directly. Instead, they drop "Ore Shards". You will need 4 Ore Shards to craft one ingot or gemstone.

Adjusted Drops: Stone ore now drop 1–2 Ore Shards, while Deepslate ores drop 1–4 Ore Shards. This balance makes resource gathering significantly more challenging and rewarding.

Why download this mod? This mod is designed to slow down early-game progression and provide a more challenging experience for players who feel that vanilla mining is too easy. It encourages more exploration and better resource management.
