Pinku
Pinku is the only ore in the mod that is made up. This ore was the first ore added to the mod as a tester, and I just couldn't remove it, so it stays! But this is the only exception!
Pinku Ore is extremely rare! It can only be found in The End and is usually found in clumps of 1-3. It will drop as a block and must be smelted to get a Pinku Shard. You need 4 Shards to craft 1 Pinku
Once you have a Pinku, you can then use it to upgrade Netherite Armor in a Smithing Table using a Pinku Upgrade Template.
The Pinku Upgrade Template can not be duplicated and can be found in Ancient Cities and End Cities. It can only be given as a reward in Trial Chambers.
Pinku can be given to you as a drop after defeating the Warden. Pinku Shards can be found in Ancient Cities, Bastions, Buried Treasure, End Cities, and Woodland Mansions. They can also be given as a reward from Trial Chambers and a drop from defeating the Warden.
Pinku is a bit better than Netherite, maybe a bit overpowered...
Pinku also comes with Horse armor and Nautilus Armor (Nautilus Armor is only available after 1.21.11)
Rainbow Pyrite Ore
Rainbow pyrite is a unique variety of pyrite (iron disulfide) that exhibits an iridescent effect due to thin layers of iron oxides or other secondary minerals on its surface. It has a similar strength to Iron.

Sulfur Ore
Sulfur is the tenth most abundant element by mass in the universe and the fifth most common on Earth. Sulfur was known in ancient times, being mentioned for its uses in ancient India, ancient Greece, China, and ancient Egypt. Sulfur is an essential element for all life, almost always in the form of organosulfur compounds or metal sulfides.
In the real world, Sulfur is extremely abundant. Naturally, Sulfur is created inside massive stars, at a depth where the temperature exceeds 2.5 billion kelvin, by the fusion of one nucleus of silicon plus one nucleus of helium. On Earth, Sulfur can be found near hot springs and volcanic regions in many parts of the world, especially along the Pacific Ring of Fire; such volcanic deposits are mined in Indonesia, Chile, and Japan.
In-game, Sulfur is found in the Nether in Netherrack and Blackstone. Blackstone Sulfur only spawns in Basalt Deltas.
You can use Sulfur to craft torches and TNT(Replacing gunpowder). It can also be used as fuel in Furnace blocks.
The Crusher is a new block entity that crushes minerals to make other minerals! A crusher is a machine designed to reduce large rocks into smaller rocks, gravel, sand, or rock dust. The crusher that is shown in this mod is a Jaw Crusher.
Jaw Crushers use iron plates to crush things down; therefore, the fuel in a crusher is Iron Ingots.
Tungsten
Tungsten is remarkable for its robustness, especially the fact that it has the highest melting point of all known elements. It also has the highest boiling point.
Anything Tungsten in the mod is fireproof and will not burn in lava! Tungsten armor and tools are a bit stronger than Netherite.
Tungsten is made in-game from crushing Scheelite or Wolframite in the Crusher.
A full set of Tungsten armor will give you the Fire Resistance 5 effect based on the fact that Tungsten has the highest melting point of all known elements. This means, while wearing a full set of Tungsten armor, you practically cannot take damage in lava.

Drills are a new tool that provides nice benefits to the user!
There are two types of Drills, the Diamond Drills and the Tungsten Drills.
Drills are made in two parts. First, the Drill Head and then the Drill Bit. Drill heads are made from Block of Cast Steel, Cast Steel, and Redstone
After making a Drill Head, you will then need a Drill Bit. Drill Bits can be made from Diamond and Tungsten. Tungsten is better than Diamond and is fireproof.
Dril Bit Recipes
You can then craft the Drill Head and Drill Bit together to create a Drill!
Drills can be upgraded with a Drill Upgrade Template!
Drill Upgrade Templates can be found in Ancient Cities, Bastions, End Cities, Strongholds, Woodland Mansions, and as rewards in the Trial Chambers.
Recipe for Duping The Template
There are 4 stages of Drills
Upgrade Drills
The Simple Drill
The simple drill acts as a normal pickaxe, but faster. The Tungsten Simple Drill insta mines stone and very quickly mines Deepslate. The Diamond Simple Drill is not much faster than a regular Netherite Pickaxe, but it lasts longer.
The Enhanced Drill
The enhanced drill is around the same speed as the simple drill, but it is able to mine in a 3x3 area. This drill can 3x3 mine anything a pickaxe or shovel can.
The Advanced Drill
The advanced drill is around the same speed as the simple drill, but it is able to mine in a 5x5 area. This drill can 5x5 mine anything a pickaxe can.
The Premium Drill
The premium drill mines a bit faster than the simple drill and mines in a 5x5 area. This drill can 5x5 mine anything a pickaxe, shovel, and axe can.
