About this Mod

Minerals & Such

About

Minerals & Such adds new ores to Minecraft that feel like vanilla. You’ll find them while exploring caves, mountains, and other places as you mine around the world.

Ores

There are 4 new ores to find: Platinum, Mica, Osmium, and Topaz. Each one comes with its own tools and advancements.

Gear & Tools

Each mineral has its own set of tools with different strengths. Topaz tools are about as strong as iron, Mica is a bit rarer and slightly stronger, Platinum is rarer still, resistant to fire and lava, and stronger than diamond, and Osmium is very rare, tough to get, and stronger than netherite.

Gameplay Feel

The mod fits naturally into Minecraft without changing how it plays. There’s just a few extra things to come across and enjoy while exploring underground.
