Information
A material base for 1.15 to 1.16 (and soon 1.18), ideal for those looking for more to mine or a base mod for resources! You can change if an ore spawns in the world, what max height, min height, how big the veins are, how many per chunk and the harvest level of the ore. You can use this outside of modpacks, however currently there is little functionality to any of the resources other than tools/armor, processing from ores to dusts/ingots, dusts to alloys/ingots, ingots to plates/rods/gears and some useful resources. Any recipes can be found on the wiki linked above.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
