About this Mod
This mod effectively replaces Raw Iron, Raw Copper and Raw Gold with new blocks that resemble the ores they came from, but do not drop any extra when mined with fortune. Naturally generating ore blocks are not changed at all, and are simply renamed to "Untouched
If removing this mod, please be aware that all modded ore blocks (fortunateores:<ore here>) will be removed, and your hard-earned resources will be lost!
This is my first mod, and I don't currently have any plans to port it to forge or any other versions, but anyone else is free to do so if they want!
