More Abundant Ores

⚠️ Important: This mod now has two optional builds:

Regular / High Generation Build – ores generate more frequently and in larger veins.
Balanced / Lower Generation Build – ores spawn less often (still higher than vanilla ores) for a more balanced experience.
Players can choose which version they prefer; the original high-generation build will remain available as the default.

This mod expands vanilla ore generation by adding custom variants of existing ores that:

Generate more frequently and in larger veins than normal (depending on the build).
Drop more resources when mined (e.g., Coal Ore drops 3 Coal, Iron Ore drops 3 Raw Iron, Copper Ore drops 8 Raw Copper, Gold Ore drops 3 Raw Gold).
Do not replace vanilla ores — the original Minecraft ores still generate as usual.

🔨 Current Features:

Overworld Coal Ore variant
Overworld Iron Ore variant
Overworld Copper Ore variant
Overworld Gold Ore variant

📌 Planned Updates:

Additional overworld ores (Redstone, Lapis, Diamond, Emerald)
Deepslate variants for all ores
Balance tweaks based on feedback

💡 Note:

This mod is designed to keep the game rewarding while maintaining balance. Players who prefer higher ore abundance can stick with the original build; those who want a slightly more challenging experience can try the balanced/lowered-generation build.

⚠️ Feedback & Issues:

If you encounter bugs, worldgen problems, or balance issues, please let me know! I plan to actively update this project and expand it with more ores in future releases.
