About this Mod

 
Logo
Ancient Elements adds about 20 new Ores and Materials to the Game. There are new Weapons and Tool Types. The Mod has a Ore Progression System similar to Terraria's,wich makes  Upgrading Equipment harder then Vanilla Minecraft. New Ores are Generated in various Biomes and Dimension, Try Beating the Game with New Equipment. ButObtaining them isn't so Easy, you'll have to get you're Hands on Netherite first to get Better/Stronger Tools. There also are Ores that are Weaker than Netherite so not all
of them require Netherite. 

The Mod Also Adds new Achievements, Items, Armor, Blocks, Enchantments and Tools

New Ores and Materials

Ores

Ancient Elements introduces a wide variety of new ores into Minecraft. And there are Ores for every Vanilla Dimension and some only generate in certain Biomes or heights.

Materials

All of these new Ores can be made into Ingots and then into Equipment and Tools. Not every Material can bemined easily though, since there is a Progression system, where you need to work your way up with all the Materials.

New Tool Types

Tools

 This Mod adds new Tool/Weapon types. Say Hello to Hammers and Drills. Both of them are Alternatives to Pickaxes and have unique Textures and Abilities.

Hammers: The Hammers can be used for both Combat and Mining. They are Stronger than Axes but Slower than them Though. Most of the Hammers have the same Unique Ability like their Sword Type. You can Also use Hammers as Pickaxes. They can 3x3 Mine Any Stone/Ore Type, however they are a lot slower than ther Pickaxe counterparts. Also newly added are 2 New Enchantments Specific for Hammers (Thunder Strike and Earthquake).

Drills: Drills can be used for Mining very Fast. They can Insta Mine Blocks but their Speed depents on their Material. Drill have to be Right-Clicked wich means they have to be alone in the Main Hand. Drills have a lower reach than Pickaxes and only work on Earth, Stone and Metal Type Blocks (with some exeptions under them).

New Crafting Station

Mineral Compounder

The Mineral Compounder is a powerful new workstation designed for fusing and refining resources. By combining different minerals, crystals, and elemental materials, players can create advanced alloys and new crafting components that are impossible to obtain otherwise. Many late-game tools, weapons, and upgrades rely on the Compounder, making it an essential step in progressing through Ancient Elements.

New Creatures

Mobs

Ancient Elements adds a wide variety of creatures to discover. Many of them lurk in the depths of caves, guarding resources or creating hazards for explorers. Others appear in specific biomes or within structures, ensuring that danger and discovery are never limited to just underground.

New Elementals

Elementals

Four new Elementals roam the world besides the Vanilla Blaze: Earth, Water, Wind, and Void. Each one represents its element and drops unique resources when defeated. These drops are essential for crafting elemental weapons or for summoning even greater challenges.

New Boss

Boss

The ultimate trial of Ancient Elements is the Ancient Elemental Boss. Unlike ordinary Mobs, this battle is designed as a test of worthiness. Only those who beat it's challenge will gain access to a new and powerfull Endgame Material.

New Endgame Material (Aeonite)

aeonite

Defeating the Ancient Elemental grants access to Aeonite, a material stronger than anything found in the Mod. With it, you can forge Aeonite Tools and Armor, providing unmatched durability and strength. These items are the pinnacle of progression in Ancient Elements, designed to reward those who overcame the boss’s trial.

New Cave Biome

biome

A new Cave biome filled with vibrant crystal growths and mineral formations. While visually stunning, its beauty hides danger. Strange creatures thrive here, and the terrain can be treacherous. The crystals themselves play an important role in crafting, brewing and Building. Exploring the Crystal Caverns rewards brave miners with both rare resources and unique encounters.
