Finding and Identifying Granite, Diorite, Andesite, and Tuff Ore Variants

Finding and Identifying Granite, Diorite, Andesite, and Tuff Ore Variants

When exploring underground cave systems with Mar Mar’s Enhanced Ore Variety Mod installed, you will notice that familiar resources do not always generate inside standard stone. Instead, the mod places ores inside Granite, Diorite, Andesite, and Tuff blocks during normal cave generation.

Spotting Ores in Natural Stone Wall Formations

As you walk through open cave passages or mine deep underground, keep your eyes open for patches of underground granite rock, diorite, and andesite, as well as tuff layers. Mineral deposits are blended cleanly into these surrounding stone pockets. Rather than standing out against plain gray stone, resources like iron, gold, and emeralds are embedded directly inside matching stone types.

To find specific resources, scan the walls for these natural stone wall formations. You will find coal and copper ores scattered across tuff and granite layers, raw iron deposits blended into andesite and diorite patches, and even precious blocks like diamond, lapis, and emerald hidden within the matching stone types. When exploring deep underground, look closely at the surrounding stone colors to spot these colorful ores embedded in the rock patches before you walk past them.
