End Metals Mod 1.12.2, — Guide

Mechanics and Generation

The generation of End Metals follows specific rules to ensure balance and to encourage exploration of the outer islands.

World Generation

• Location: Ores generate throughout the End dimension. While they can appear on the main dragon island, they are significantly more abundant on the outer islands where End Cities are located.
• Vein Size: Vein sizes are generally comparable to Overworld distributions, though the density can be adjusted via configuration files.
• Height Distribution: Unlike the Overworld, where ores are restricted by Y-levels, End Ores can generate at almost any height within the End Stone islands, from the very bottom to the top surface.

Mining and Tools

The mining levels required for End Metals match their Overworld equivalents. However, because End Stone is harder than regular Stone, mining these ores takes slightly longer unless using high-efficiency tools.
