Natural Ores Plus adds new variants of the vanilla Minecraft ores without changing the feeling of the game.
The idea is simple: ores that you already know can now generate inside different types of stone. Instead of having ores only in their usual stone variants, you can find them in Andesite, Diorite, Tuff.
Ores Included
- Coal Ore
- Copper Ore
- Iron Ore
- Gold Ore
- Lapis Lazuli Ore
- Redstone Ore
- Diamond Ore
- Emerald Ore
Each ore has variants for:
- Andesite
- Diorite
- Tuff
This gives the add-on a total of 24 new ore variants.
Vanilla Feel
Natural Ores+ is designed to fit naturally into Minecraft. The ores keep their familiar appearance and behavior, with the main difference being the stone they are found in.
The goal isn't to add complicated mechanics or completely change ore progression. It's simply to make the underground and different stone formations feel a little more varied.
Whether you're mining through Andesite, exploring Tuff, or finding a sandstone cave, you may come across ores that feel like they have always belonged there.
Natural Ores+ — more variety, still vanilla.
