Description
Excavated Variants
NeoForge version requires: Dynamic Asset Generator
Fabric/Quilt version requires: Dynamic Asset Generator and Fabric API/Quilted Fabric API
Adds automatically generated variants of ores based on various stones.
Details:
Many mods add new stones or new ores. Excavated Variants automatically adds new ores for each combination of ore and stone variant. Additionally, Excavated Variants attempts to set up world gen for these ore variants. The variants added can be changed in the config file; some mods are built in to the default configuration; others will have to be manually added. See Images tab of Curseforge page for examples of generated ores.
Troubleshooting:
Running into issues? Start here!
- If world or game loading times are slow, try turning on stronger asset and/or data caching in the config for Dynamic Asset Generator.
- Is the game crashing on launch? Do ore textures turn magenta and black? Something may be wrong with your config. Try removing and resetting it.
- Are you missing compatibility for a mod listed below? Delete your configs to reset them to the default.
