About this Mod

HiddenOres is a lightweight datapack that adds a chance for ores to drop when mining stone, deepslate or netherrack.

When mining blocks like Stone in the Overworld or Netherrack in the Nether, there is a very small chance that ores will drop. This makes mining feel more rewarding while keeping vanilla gameplay mostly unchanged.

Features:

• Mining stone/deepslate in the Overworld has a chance to drop overworld ores.

• Mining netherrack in the Nether has a chance to drop nether ores.

• Very low drop chances so ores remain rare.

• Works with normal tools and enchantments.

Slight inspiration from:

BeyondEnchant Banner

Why use this datapack?

HiddenOres adds a small layer of randomness and reward to mining without changing world
generation. Even when mining for just Stone, Deepslate or Netherrack, there is always a chance to find something
valuable.

Compatibility:

This datapack only modifies block loot tables. It should work with most datapacks unless
they also modify the same loot tables.

Installation (Datapack):

Download the datapack.

Place it in the world's datapacks folder.

Run /reload or restart the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

HiddenOres server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is HiddenOres compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge?

HiddenOres officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with HiddenOres – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if HiddenOres consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
