Too many ores cluttering your world?
Reduced Ores is a lightweight and highly compatible mod that lowers ore generation to bring back balance, challenge, and meaning to mining.


🔻 Features

  • 📉 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
  • Reducing resource overflow in large or exploration-heavy modpacks
  • Making every ore vein feel rewarding, not redundant

🧩 Compatibility

  • Works with most worldgen mods (e.g. Terralith, BetterNether, Create, AllTheOres, etc.)
  • Does not override loot tables or structure data — stays focused and modular

📦 Why Reduced Ores?

  • Lightweight
  • Configurable
  • Focused

Every ore should feel like a discovery — not a given.
