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.
- 📉 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
- 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
- Works 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.
