About this project
What does [ORB] OresRBack add?
What does this mod/ datapack do?
This simple mod/ datapack makes it possible to mine ores like in versions before 1.17 again. That means that ores drop ores again and not raw ores. Read more here.
But whyy??
My friends and I noticed after playing the newer versions of Minecraft that the new ore logic is a bit overpowered and makes it much easier to get resources (especially Copper Ore)
More Minecraft Versions???
I will support more Minecraft versions if it is requested. So if someone opens an issue on GitHub, or send me an mail to this address, that they want another version of Minecraft for this mod/ datapack, I will create it!
Create Extension
I've also created a mod for Create's zinc ore, see: ORBC
BYG Extension
As well for Oh the biomes you'll go! See: ORBB
