Frequently asked questions

Do I need to go to a specific Y level to find expanded Ancient Debris?
Ancient Debris still spawns in the same Y-level range as vanilla Minecraft, but this mod increases cluster size at those depths, so you'll find more blocks per vein rather than needing to search higher or lower than usual.
What pickaxe do I need to mine Ancient Debris with this mod?
You still need a Diamond or Netherite pickaxe to successfully mine Ancient Debris; this mod only changes vein size, not the tool requirement.
Will this mod make Netherite too easy to get?
The mod reduces grinding time by clustering more debris together, but you still need to locate veins, navigate the Nether safely, and smelt the raw materials, so the challenge remains meaningful.
Does this mod work in existing worlds or only new ones?
This data pack affects newly generated chunks; previously explored areas will keep their original vein sizes unless you venture into ungenerated terrain.
