Fun Ores Mod 1.16.5, — Reference
Mob Ores (Hostile)
Mob Ores correspond to hostile creatures found throughout the Overworld and the Nether. These ores are rarer than standard coal or iron and provide a peaceful alternative to hunting dangerous mobs. Some high-tier drops are provided as Shards, requiring four to be crafted into a full item.

Mechanics & Items
The Shard System
To balance the acquisition of powerful items (like Ender Pearls or Blaze Rods), Fun Ores introduces Shards. When mining high-tier mob ores, you will receive shards instead of the full item. This prevents players from obtaining end-game gear too quickly while still rewarding exploration.
- Ender Shard: Dropped by Enderman Ore.
- Blaze Shard: Dropped by Blaze Ore.
- Ghast Shard: Dropped by Ghast Ore.
- Phantom Shard: Dropped by Phantom Ore.
Fortune and Loot Tables
All ores in Fun Ores utilize the standard Minecraft Loot Table system. This means:
1. Fortune Enchantment: Using a pickaxe with Fortune will significantly increase the number of items dropped from mob and meat ores.
2. Silk Touch: Using Silk Touch will drop the ore block itself, which can be used for decoration or processed later.
3. Customization: Because they use loot tables, server admins can modify the data/funores/loot_tables files to change exactly what each ore drops.
Recipes
The primary recipes in the 1.16.5 version involve converting shards into their full item counterparts. These are all 2x2 shapeless or shaped crafting recipes.
