Where do I find dense ores?
Dense ores generate in caves in both the Overworld and Nether, but they're rare and appear in small clusters. You'll need to explore cave systems actively—they won't spawn in your immediate vicinity, so caving expeditions are your best bet.
What pickaxe do I need to mine dense ores?
Dense ores have the same tool requirements as their regular counterparts, so a stone pickaxe works for dense coal and copper, iron pickaxe for dense gold and diamonds, and diamond pickaxe for dense Nether ores.
Do Fortune and Silk Touch work on dense ores?
Yes, both enchantments work on dense ores. Fortune will increase your drops further, while Silk Touch lets you collect the dense ore block itself for later processing or decoration.
How much more do dense ores drop compared to regular ores?
Dense ores can drop up to three times the amount of materials compared to their normal counterparts, making them significantly more rewarding when you find them.
Do dense ores drop extra experience?
Yes, dense ores drop more experience than regular ores—with the exception of iron, copper, and gold, which drop the same experience as their normal versions.
Are there dense Nether ores?
Yes, the mod includes dense variants of Nether ores that generate alongside Overworld dense ores. They follow the same mechanics and can be mined with Fortune and Silk Touch.
Why aren't dense ores spawning in my world?
Dense ores are intentionally rare and generate in small clusters only in caves, so you may need to explore extensively. Make sure you're looking in cave systems rather than above ground, and check multiple biomes.
Can I use a Fortune III pickaxe to get even more drops from dense ores?
Yes, Fortune enchantments stack with dense ore drops, so a Fortune III pickaxe will multiply your already-increased yields even further.
Do dense ores affect performance or server lag?
Dense ores are designed to be rare and generate in small clusters, so they have minimal performance impact. If you experience issues, it's likely due to other mods or your cave-exploring intensity rather than this mod alone.
Can I see dense ores on the surface or do I have to cave?
Dense ores only generate in caves, not on the surface, so you'll need to go underground to find them. This makes caving the primary way to locate and farm dense ores.
