HiddenOres

HiddenOres is a lightweight datapack that adds a chance for ores to drop when mining stone, deepslate or netherrack.

When mining blocks like Stone in the Overworld or Netherrack in the Nether, there is a very small chance that ores will drop. This makes mining feel more rewarding while keeping vanilla gameplay mostly unchanged.

Features:

• Mining stone/deepslate in the Overworld has a chance to drop overworld ores.

• Mining netherrack in the Nether has a chance to drop nether ores.

• Very low drop chances so ores remain rare.

• Works with normal tools and enchantments.

Slight inspiration from:

Why use this datapack?

HiddenOres adds a small layer of randomness and reward to mining without changing world
generation. Even when mining for just Stone, Deepslate or Netherrack, there is always a chance to find something
valuable.

Compatibility:

This datapack only modifies block loot tables. It should work with most datapacks unless
they also modify the same loot tables.
