Bedrock Ores Mod
Bedrock Ores Mod (1.20.1, 1.19.4) adds ore clusters embedded in bedrock, and a machine to extract them automatically. This is a world-gen mod that adds a unique method of resource acquisition. Instead of regular ore blocks it spawn ore clusters embedded in the bedrock. These can then be harvested by the player, behaving much like the contained ore does, except that the block will never fully break. Each time the contained ore would break, its drops are spawned and the bedrock ore’s yield is reduced. Once the ore deposit is exhausted, the block will simply turn into regular bedrock.
This mod adds larger stationary ore deposits that can be harvested over a longer amount of time, encouraging mining outposts. It is somewhat inspired by the way resources are gathered in Factorio.
The yield of the bedrock ore veins goes up the further away they are from spawn, so digging them up by hand will get tedious quickly. To make your life a little easier, the mod also adds a single machine block, the Bedrock Miner. This machine will automatically harvest bedrock ores in the 5x3x5 area below it. It needs to be powered either by pumping burnable materials, such as coal, into one of its sides or by connecting it to an external power source; Forge Energy and classic Redstone Flux are supported. All harvested ores will be ejected into an inventory above the miner. Note that the machine will stop working if there is no inventory to eject harvested ores into.
Note that the mod adds no ores of itself, it just wraps existing ores. Any ore that does not use a tile entity should be supported. Bedrock ores simply wrap the block state of the actual ore and forward relevant calls, such as checks for harvestability. Think Carpenter’s Blocks.
The mod supports retrogen, i.e. it will generate bedrock ores in already generated chunks, unless configured not to. This means you can throw it into your pack and keep playing your old worlds, and bedrock ores will pop up where they would have been, had the mod been present right from the start.
