- Renewable ore sources mean less time grinding for copper and iron
- Configurable reset day lets you tailor the pace to your playstyle
- Decent community traction with 91 endorsements and over 5k downloads
⚠️ Cons

For survival players who hate hunting for ore veins and want a steady, renewable supply. Also great for builders who need lots of copper and iron for projects. Skip if you prefer vanilla mining or want a mod that adds new ore types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's config file to set the reset day to match your play session length—shorter resets for frequent play, longer for casual.
- Since mines are in all biomes except the last, mark their locations on your map early to plan efficient mining routes.
- If you use other world-generation mods, test OreMines on a new save first to ensure no conflicts.
