How do I install Ore-bound [FABRIC]?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

Ore-bound [FABRIC]

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

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 Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.20.1Newest
Minecraft 1.19.2
Minecraft 1.17–1.18.1
Minecraft 1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.20.1 ⬇ Download for 1.19.2 ⬇ Download for 1.17–1.18.1 ⬇ Download for 1.16.5

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.

Ore-Bound

Have you ever wanted to be able to bound ores to tools and armour to give them more durability?

With Ore-bound, now you can!

Just grab a smithing table and put in a standard iron tool or armour (more bounded tools and armour coming soon), then add a gemstone, now you have a tool or armour piece with a higher durability.

Bounded Tools & Armour

Ruby-Bounded Iron

Apart from bounding ores to tools and armour, with Ore-bound, you can create Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Amethyst and Turquoise tools and armour with balanced specifications just below diamond tools and armour.

Check the "Images" section to see crafting recipes.

Splitting off mod parts

After Ore-bound 1.3.1, the mod will be split into seperate mods which don't fully reflect that of Ore-bound. These will be Disc-bound (new music discs), Decor-bound (new decoration blocks) and Tweak-bound (useful crafting tweaks)
How can I help with development?
