All The Ores FAQ
20 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with All The Ores?
Craft a basic pickaxe and start mining underground for copper, aluminum, and
cinnabar ores, which spawn in most overworld biomes. Smelt the raw ore in a furnace to get your first ingots, then use those to craft an ore hammer for better yields.

Deepslate variants generate below the stone-to-deepslate transition layer and drop the same raw materials as their stone counterparts. They exist so ore generation stays consistent at deeper Y levels.
How do I make bronze?
Combine copper and tin in a crafting grid or alloy smelter to produce bronze ingots. The exact ratio depends on your alloying method, so check the recipe in JEI or your mod's recipe viewer.
How do I make brass?
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Mix the two metals using your modpack's alloying method, such as a crafting grid, mixer, or alloy smelter.
How do I make constantan?
Constantan is an alloy of copper and nickel. Combine them the same way you would make bronze or brass, using whatever alloying station your pack provides.
What are ore hammers used for?
Ore hammers crush ore blocks into crushed ore, which can then be processed further for higher metal yields than smelting the raw ore directly. They are a key early-game tool for stretching your ore supply.
How do I turn ingots into plates, gears, and rods?
Use a metal press, hammer, or the appropriate crafting tool from your modpack to shape ingots into plates, gears, and rods. Each shape has its own recipe, so check JEI for the exact method available in your pack.
Why can't I find tin, nickel, or zinc ores?
Some metals in All The Ores are only added if the corresponding mod or ore generation is enabled in your pack's config. Check your modpack's ore generation settings or JEI to confirm which ores are actually present in your world.
What is
cinnabar used for?
Cinnabar is a red mineral ore that drops
cinnabar dust when mined, which is used in various crafting and processing recipes across tech mods. It generates in specific biomes or Y ranges, so check JEI for its uses in your pack.Does All The Ores cause lag or performance issues?
The mod itself is lightweight since it mainly adds items and blocks, but large numbers of ore blocks generating in the world can increase chunk load times. If you notice lag, adjust ore generation frequency in the config or reduce render distance.
What does the All The Ores Mod do?
It adds recipes to craft all vanilla Minecraft ores, giving you alternative ways to obtain ores like Coal, Iron, Gold, Redstone, Lapis, Diamond, and Emerald instead of relying purely on mining and world generation luck.
