More Abundant Ores (MAO)

More Abundant Ores

⚠️ Important: This mod now has two optional builds:

1. Regular / High Generation Build – ores generate more frequently and in larger veins.

2. Balanced / Lower Generation Build – ores spawn less often (still higher than vanilla ores) for a more balanced experience.
   Players can choose which version they prefer; the original high-generation build will remain available as the default.

---

This mod expands vanilla ore generation by adding custom variants of existing ores that:

• Generate more frequently and in larger veins than normal (depending on the build).

• Drop more resources when mined (e.g., Coal Ore drops 3 Coal, Iron Ore drops 3 Raw Iron, Copper Ore drops 8 Raw Copper, Gold Ore drops 3 Raw Gold).

• Do not replace vanilla ores — the original Minecraft ores still generate as usual.

---

🔨 Current Features:

• Overworld Coal Ore variant

• Overworld Iron Ore variant

• Overworld Copper Ore variant

• Overworld Gold Ore variant

---

📌 Planned Updates:

• Additional overworld ores (Redstone, Lapis, Diamond, Emerald)

• Deepslate variants for all ores

• Balance tweaks based on feedback

---

💡 Note:

This mod is designed to keep the game rewarding while maintaining balance. Players who prefer higher ore abundance can stick with the original build; those who want a slightly more challenging experience can try the balanced/lowered-generation build.

⚠️ Feedback & Issues:

If you encounter bugs, worldgen problems, or balance issues, please let me know! I plan to actively update this project and expand it with more ores in future releases.
