Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.18–1.18.1
Minecraft 1.17–1.17.1
Minecraft 1.16.3–1.16.5
Minecraft 1.16–1.16.1

⬇ Download for 1.18.2 ⬇ Download for 1.18–1.18.1 ⬇ Download for 1.17–1.17.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.3–1.16.5 ⬇ Download for 1.16–1.16.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

I have made a small simple configurable utility mod that adds clay to the natural underground world generation of Minecraft.

Configurations:

Configurable min / max vein size.
Configurable min / max spawn height.
Configurable spawn rate with veins per chunck.

Motivation:
I often make mods about things that is bothering me about vanilla Minecraft. This time it was the clay world generation. It sometimes when I live far away from water I have big problems finding clay. Also diving to get some clay could be really annoying. So why not add some clay to the natural underground world gen too, just like gravel and ores.

This mod works great with:
Tinkers Construct (Makes the smeltery a bit easier to obtain).

The mod works on 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.16, 1.17, 1.18
