[Unofficial] Port of DoubleNegation's Compact Ores Mod for Newer Versions of Minecraft
📖 Description
Compact Ores Port adds compact ores to the world — rare variants of regular ores that drop 3–5× more resources when mined. They generate naturally alongside their base ores and are visually distinct thanks to auto-generated textures.
The mod faithfully recreates the original's functionality and is compatible with any modded ores through configuration files. Both Forge and Fabric versions are available.
✨ Features
- 🪨 Compact Ores — rare ore variants with increased drops (×3–5 by default)
- ⚙️ In-Game Config Screen — full settings GUI with tooltips (Mods → Compact Ores Port → Config)
- 🔍 Ore Browser - View and add blocks from any mod as compact ore directly in the game by pressing the (K) key.
- 🔄 Hot Reload — changes apply instantly via
/compactores reload, no restart needed - 🎨 Automatic Texture Generation — the mod creates textures for all compact ores at startup
- 🌍 Retro Generation — compact ores appear even in already-explored chunks
- 📦 Modded Ore Support — works with any mod that adds ores; auto-discovers ores from installed mod JARs
- 🏷️ Creative Tab — a dedicated tab in the creative menu with all registered compact ores
- 🌐 Localization — full Russian and English language support
