Mining Custom Stone Ore Variants for Raw Materials

Mining Custom Stone Ore Variants for Raw Materials

Once you locate the new stone variants for standard ores embedded within patches of underground granite, diorite, andesite, or tuff, you will want to harvest them. Because these deposits blend naturally into the surrounding stone pockets, gathering them requires standard underground mining techniques.

Harvesting Custom Ores with a Pickaxe

Equip a standard pickaxe and mine the specific stone block containing the embedded resource. Whether you are digging through open cave passages or stripping away natural stone wall formations, the custom variants for precious blocks like diamond, lapis, and emerald—along with standard resources like iron, gold, and coal—will drop their normal vanilla minerals and raw items when mined with a pickaxe.

The mod maintains standard vanilla ore generation rates across underground areas, meaning you do not need to alter your usual mining depths or strategies to find these resources. Simply explore underground cave systems, locate the ores scattered across tuff, granite, and andesite layers, and break the blocks to collect your raw items and minerals just as you would in an unmodified game.
