📋 About This Mod

!(https://imgur.com/lUuE4jX.png) <br> <center> ### **Ore Growth** allows crystal clusters to grow on ores! Clusters can then be harvested for resources. </center> <br> <br> !(https://imgur.com/VJlpisR.png) ## Default configuration By default, crystals can grow on any of the vanilla ores as well as on ancient debris. Once fully grown, the crystals can be mined to obtain resources relevant to the block it grew on. !(https://imgur.com/cOOwZGx.png) ## Custom recipes Ore Growth is completely customizable and custom recipes can allow crystals to grow on a certain block. Adding new recipes or adjusting default recipes can be done through a datapack. To add a recipe, simply create a new recipe file in your datapack and set its type to `oregrowth:ore_growth`. Here is an example of the properties for an ore growth recipe to make crystals grow on pumpkins: <table> <tr><td> ```json { "type": "oregrowth:ore_growth", "base": , // blocks the crystal grows on "stages": 4, // number of growth stages the crystal has, max of 4 stages "spawn_chance": 0.2, // chance for a crystal to spawn when the base // receives a random tick "growth_chance": 0.3, // chance for a crystal to grow when it receives a // random tick "drops": } ``` </td><td> <img width='500' src='https://imgur.com/Sp2j1Yl.png' alt='Crystals growing on a pumpkin'> </td></tr> </table> The full datapack files for this example are available (https://github.com/SuperMartijn642/OreGrowth/tree/fabric-26.1/example). For convenience, there are config options to disable all default recipes, to scale the spawn chance of all ore growth recipes, and to scale the growth chance of all ore growth recipes. !(https://imgur.com/bDXpr0y.png) ## Just Enough Items integration All ore growth recipes are visible in recipe viewing mods. <img width='404' alt='Examples of ore growth recipes in JEI' src='https://imgur.com/eURhlC2.gif'> <br> <br> !(https://imgur.com/VJlpisR.png) ## Jade and The One Probe integration Both Jade and The One Probe will display the growth progress of crystals. <img width='400' alt='Jade tooltip showing the crystals growth progress' src='https://imgur.com/6M4iXVJ.gif'> <br> <br> !(https://imgur.com/cOOwZGx.png) ## Mod compatibility Ore Growth has compatibility for ores from the following mods: - <img width='28' alt='Additional Blocks: Stone Edition' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/FSzRTvY9/icon.png'> Additional Blocks: Stone Edition - <img width='28' alt='BetterEnd' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/MpzVLzy5/d35c76a6051d79b35ac33668772ee5a35f2c1f8e.png'> BetterEnd - <img width='28' alt='BetterNether' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/gc8OEnCC/22fdef19992a21f7a16e53eb0ff2fe5e59766003.png'> BetterNether - <img width='28' alt='Bigger Reactors' src='https://media.forgecdn.net/avatars/300/480/637357968773910837.png'> Bigger Reactors - <img width='28' alt='Create' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/LNytGWDc/45c6a706e0e67669d3004f80eec443331fb33369.png'> Create - <img width='28' alt='Deep Aether' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/gcHIih5B/f57793396b6823ca4eb4b35c40f8c6545bee0f08.png'> Deep Aether - <img width='28' alt='Enderscape' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/btCrWvHr/106ae516d36665c57e32c830837718a96c2344b3.png'> Enderscape - <img width='28' alt='Extreme Reactors' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/idkvShUy/48547286b3acecb37d1fe7e2befaa631c65f29af.png'> Extreme Reactors - <img width='28' alt='Gems & Jewels' src='https://media.forgecdn.net/avatars/285/254/637300336290714863.png'> Gems & Jewels - <img width='28' alt='Industrial Revolution' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/kFs9AeXi/66b4c37413001232e53bdee818438939fa554d25.png'> Industrial Revolution - <img width='28' alt='Mekanism' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/Ce6I4WUE/icon.png'> Mekanism - <img width='28' alt='Mystical Agriculture' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/C95ReXie/074a11aab33fce12e3a2d77bba91020d7a8379ec.png'> Mystical Agriculture - <img width='28' alt='Mythic Metals' src='https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/bAWzYNRd/844230da918bb025f06e952dfeb2786129548a58.png'> Mythic Metals - <
