DatapacksJava
Old drop ores to new vesions
Java data pack listed for Minecraft 1.20–26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
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.
With this datapack, ore drops in versions 1.17+ will match those in versions 1.16.5 and earlier. You can tell because mining the ore yields the ore block itself, and the Fortune enchantment does not produce additional drops.
