Ore Growth

Ore Growth allows crystal clusters to grow on ores! Clusters can then be harvested for resources.

Default configuration

By default, crystals can grow on any of the vanilla ores as well as on ancient debris.

Custom recipes

Ore Growth is completely customizable and custom recipes can allow crystals to grow on a certain block. Adding new recipes or adjusting default recipes can be done through a datapack.

To add a recipe, simply create a new recipe file in your datapack and set its type to `oregrowth:ore_growth`. Here is an example of the properties for an ore growth recipe to make crystals grow on pumpkins:

{
   "type": "oregrowth:ore_growth",
   "base": [
      "minecraft:pumpkin"
   ], // blocks the crystal grows on
   "stages": 4, // number of growth stages the crystal has, max of 4 stages
   "spawn_chance": 0.2, // chance for a crystal to spawn when the base receives a random tick
   "growth_chance": 0.3, // chance for a crystal to grow when it receives a random tick
   "drops": [
      {
         "stage": 4, // growth stage for this drop, one may also specify 'min_stage' and 'max_stage'
         "chance": 0.9, // optional, chance of obtaining this drop
         "item": {
              "id": "minecraft:pumpkin_pie",
              "count": 2
         }
      },
      {
         "min_stage": 1, // minimum stage for this drop
         "max_stage": 3, // maximum stage for this drop
         "chance": 0.3, // optional, chance of obtaining this drop
         "loot_table": "minecraft:blocks/short_grass" // loot table to obtain items from
      }
   ]
}

For convenience, there are config options to disable all default recipes, to scale the spawn chance of all ore growth recipes, and to scale the growth chance of all ore growth recipes.

FAQ

Isn't this mod very overpowered?

Yes, however probably not as much as you might think as the crystals take quite long to grow. For example, diamond ore crystals may take 30 minutes to an hour to fully grow

Can I use your mod in my modpack?
