Description
⛏️ ReducedOres - Mod
Too many ores cluttering your world?
ReducedOres is a lightweight and highly compatible mod that lowers ore generation to bring back balance, challenge, and meaning to mining.

🔻 What it does:
- Reduces ore spawn rates across all dimensions,
- Shrinks ore vein size (blob size) to avoid massive ore clusters,
- Fully configurable via the mod’s config file - tweak rates and sizes,
- Works seamlessly with vanilla and modded ores from dozens of mods.

💡 Perfect for players who want:
- A more survival-focused or hardcore mining experience,
- To reduce resource overflow in large or exploration-heavy modpacks,
- To make every ore vein feel rewarding, not redundant.
🧩 Compatible with:
Most worldgen mods (e.g. Terralith, BetterNether, Create, AllTheOres, etc.)
Does not override loot tables or structure data - stays focused and modular.
📦 Lightweight. Configurable. Focused.
Every ore should feel like a discovery - not a given.
