OreControl — Make ores as rare as you want.
A lightweight, fully configurable plugin that thins out ores in newly generated chunks. Set a simple percentage per ore (e.g. DIAMOND_ORE: 95 = 95% fewer diamonds) and OreControl removes them, cleanly replacing each with stone, deepslate, or netherrack so your world still looks natural.
⚙️ Per-ore & per-world control — tune any ore separately in the overworld, nether, or end
🪶 Lightweight — scans new chunks off the main thread; existing terrain untouched
🔧 Live reload— /orecontrol reload applies changes instantly, no restart
✅ Plug & play — sensible defaults, works out of the box on Paper 1.21.x
Perfect for hardcore, SMP, or economy servers where diamonds should actually feel valuable.
