Checking Ore Block Placement

Ensure your ore blocks have exposed surfaces where clusters can form. Ores completely surrounded by other blocks won't grow clusters. Clear space around ore blocks, especially on top and sides, to allow cluster formation.

Verifying Mod Installation

Confirm the mod is properly installed and active in your world. Check your mod list and ensure there are no conflicts with other mods that might affect ore behavior or block interactions.

Patience and Time

Cluster growth takes time—this is intentional game design. Growth rates vary; some ores may grow faster than others.

Environmental Factors

Some mods include biome or lighting requirements for cluster growth. Ensure your farm area meets any environmental conditions the mod specifies. Experiment with different locations if growth seems blocked in one area.

Resetting Problem Blocks

If a specific ore block refuses to grow clusters, try breaking it and replacing it with a fresh ore block. This can reset any stuck growth states.
