NetherOres Mod Wiki & Guide
NetherOres is a comprehensive world-generation mod for Minecraft that populates the Nether with dangerous, high-yield variants of Overworld ores, guarded by aggressive Zombie Pigmen and explosive instabilities.
Overview
NetherOres, originally created by PowerCrystals and later maintained by TeamCoFH, is a high-risk, high-reward mining mod. It adds Nether-based variants of almost every major Overworld ore, including vanilla resources and those from popular mods like Thermal Expansion, IndustrialCraft 2, and Thaumcraft.
While these ores provide significantly higher yields than their surface counterparts—typically doubling the output—they come with two major hazards: they are chemically unstable and prone to exploding when mined, and the local Zombie Pigmen view the extraction of these resources as a hostile act.
On May 25, 2019, minor updates were released for the CoFH ecosystem (CoFH Core, CoFH World, and the Thermal Series) which provide the underlying framework for NetherOres in 1.7.10, ensuring continued stability and bugfixes for the mod's integration with the Thermal Series.
