About this Mod
Just when you thought there were no good mods left in the world of Minecraft, Bad Ores comes along and conclusively confirms your views.
Features
Bad Ores brings 39 unique ores to the table, including respective sets of tools and armor, advancements, as well as two new mobs - each of the ores will likely take you by surprise. Some examples include:
Fleesonsite
This ore literally gets up and runs from you when it senses you nearby, crashing head-first into walls, jumping into lava, or running in circles. Consider your own sanity before slaughtering these cute buggers.
Iwontfite
Just carrying this ore makes your limbs all wobbly, and your muscles seem to lose all strength. This, dear Steve, is the incredible power of pacifists.
Movium
You can never quite mine it... Just when you are about done, it just appears to have moved. Maybe you have just mined the wrong spot?
Crashium
This ore has ascended to a higher form of existence. Our trivial matters concern it not, and it has dedicated itself to solving the problems of anti-determinism in the abstract varidimensional multiverse. Good luck simulating that in Minecraft.
For more information, check out the Book of Ums and Ites in-game, which can be crafted by combining a book and any bad ore or raw bad ore in a crafting table. There is also an online version of the book.
