⛏️ Reduced Ore Generation

A lightweight datapack that makes your Minecraft world harder to gather resources — just the way it should be.

About

Tired of swimming in diamonds after just a few hours of mining? This datapack reduces the natural spawn rate of every ore by approximately 50%, making resources more precious, exploration more rewarding, and the overall game significantly more challenging and satisfying.

All ore types and all variants are covered — stone, deepslate, buried, large, small — including the Nether.

Features

• Reduces all ore spawn rates by ~50% in both the Overworld and the Nether
• Covers every variant of each ore (normal, large, buried, small, deepslate, etc.)
• Fully compatible with other datapacks (as long as they don't also modify ore generation)
• No commands required — just install and play
• Lightweight — no performance impact whatsoever
• Free to use in modpacks, servers, and any projects

Affected Ores

Overworld

• ⚫ Coal — upper, lower
• ? Iron — upper, middle, small
• ? Gold — normal, lower/deepslate, extra/badlands
• ? Diamond — normal, large, buried
• ? Lapis Lazuli — normal, buried
• ? Redstone — normal, lower/deepslate
• ? Copper — normal, large
• ? Emerald — normal

Nether

• ? Nether Gold Ore
• ⬜ Nether Quartz Ore
• ? Ancient Debris / Netherite — large, small

Installation

New world

1. Download the .zip file and extract it
2. Place the reduced_ores_datapack folder inside your world's datapacks directory:
   .minecraft/saves/[YourWorldName]/datapacks/
3. Create or launch your world — the datapack activates automatically

Existing world

1. Follow steps above
2. Open your world and type /reload in chat
3. Verify it is active with /datapack list — you should see [file/reduced_ores_datapack]

⚠️ Important: Only newly generated chunks will be affected. Already explored areas keep their original ore amounts. For the best experience, use this on a fresh world or explore entirely new areas.

Customization

Want to tweak the reduction? Open any JSON file inside data/minecraft/worldgen/placed_feature/ and adjust the "count" value for that ore. Lower = rarer, higher = more common.

FAQ

Q: I installed the datapack but I still find lots of ores. Why?
A: The datapack only affects newly generated terrain. Already explored chunks are not changed. Venture into new, unexplored areas for the full effect.

Q: Is this compatible with world generation mods like Terralith?
A: It depends. If the other mod also replaces vanilla ore placed features, there may be conflicts. Test on a fresh world first.

Q: Can I combine this with other datapacks?
A: Yes, as long as they don't also override the same ore placed features.
