Jays Ores Wiki & Guide

Unlike standard ores that generate in the Overworld, ruby and sapphire ores spawn in the Nether. You can find them embedded specifically inside Nether basalt formations.

Garnet does not generate as a standard stone ore block. Instead, you can find garnet gems by digging through gravel patches.

You can place raw trace elements directly into a furnace to smelt them. Instead of producing full ingots, smelting trace elements yields metal nuggets, which you can then craft into ingots.

The mod adds a visual shimmer effect to precious ores and gemstone blocks so you can spot them more easily in dark caves. This effect also applies to vanilla gold and diamond ores.

Yes, storage blocks crafted from the newly added metals can be used to build the base pyramid of a beacon. You can also feed the new ingots and gemstones into the beacon as payment to activate its powers.

The Everburning Ember cannot be crafted or found in survival mode. It is a creative-only item designed to act as an endless fuel source for furnaces.

For metals, you can mine aluminum, tin, titanium, lead, silver, uranium, and zinc. For gemstones, the mod adds onyx, jade, garnet, rubies, and sapphires.

Yes, just like vanilla metals, you can craft the new ingots down into nuggets or combine them into compact metal storage blocks. You can also craft storage blocks out of your unsmelted raw ores and gemstones.

New ores like tin, aluminum, and Nether basalt gems will only generate in newly explored chunks. If you are adding the mod to an existing save, you will need to travel to unexplored areas in both the Overworld and the Nether to find them.

Rubies and sapphires do not generate in the Overworld at all. To mine them, you must travel to the Nether and search through areas with basalt.
