Description
* Adds Diamond Shards, which work like Nuggets for Diamonds
* Adds Copper Nuggets
* Compatible with Hardmode Progression - Extended Tool, Weapon, and Armor Tiers
For Copper, Gold, Iron, and Diamond:
* Adds Rich Ore blocks (4.5 times as valuable) that generate rarely (25% of the spawn rate of normal Ores)
* Regular (non-Rich) Ore Blocks only give 2 Nuggets when smelted or mined
* Supports configurable spawnrate adjustments for all Rich Ores. (1.17 and earlier only)
The default config makes the actual occurrence of raw resources ~40% as much as normal, while still providing plenty of things to find while mining.
