Simple Gravel Ores - Ore Deposits in Gravel

This mod offers a simple yet effective mechanic: it adds gravel versions of standard and modded ores to the Minecraft world. This allows players to obtain valuable resources without the need for lengthy underground expeditions. Each ore type appears in the game only if the corresponding mod is present - for example, tin gravel ore will generate only if you have a mod that adds tin.

Starting from version 1.20.1, all functionality is implemented exclusively through JSON! Json Things is used for registering ore blocks, while all other features are provided by standard Minecraft datapacks.

The mod offers extensive configuration options. In versions 1.12 and earlier, you can modify deposit sizes, generation frequency, exclude specific ores from generation, and configure weight coefficients for different resource types through the configuration file. In version 1.20.1+, all settings are managed directly through datapacks!

Loot table feature: if an ore is supported by multiple mods, when breaking the block, a raw ore is randomly selected from one of these mods. To prefer a specific type of raw ore, you can replace the item tag gravelores:ore_drops/<variant>, where <variant> is the ore name, such as tin.

Additional ores can also be added through datapacks and thing packs.
