Minerally for Minecraft

Review Minerally

Minerally

It is a mod that slightly changes the ore generation mechanics. You will now be able to find ores not only in a mine but also on the surface, where they will appear randomly. They will generate both in the form of crystals, which are relatively large deposits of several ores, and in the form of single rocks.

To mine these crystals and rocks, you will need an appropriate pickaxe. Thus, you will not be able to extract the diamond ore with a pickaxe that is worse than iron, as you could not do it even in the vanilla game version. The rocks drop only one ore, whereas the crystals can give you 2–5 types, including even diamond veins.

Besides the crystals and rocks, you will also see special geodes — Nether, deep, and usual — that will generate in shallow caves. You will never understand which ore they hide by their appearance, and when you break them with a pickaxe, you will get any random gem or ore.

However, you will be able to visually determine the amount of ore in one crystal. If it is full, you will get a lot of ore from it, whereas the empty one does not guarantee even a single ore piece — you will get it only if you are lucky enough.

This mod is not so much useful, given it does not add any new ores or something like that, as it is beautiful. It significantly expands the world generation potential, turning it into something close to reality. Indeed, in the real world, you can find ores by traces on the surface before you even begin to dig deeper.
