About this Mod

Have you ever wanted to experience the way mining was before 1.17?

Did you like that you could place back down iron and gold ores?

Do you just not like raw iron?

Well, this ~~mod~~ datapack is what you're looking for! Whenever you mine iron or gold ore (including deepslate) the ore will drop itself. Awesome!

Copper ore is omitted from this due to the fact that, normally, copper ore drops more than one raw copper.

If you are looking for a complete old minecraft experience in a new mc version, try Nostalgic Tweaks.
