Frequently asked questions

How do I find ore deposits?
Ore deposits spawn naturally in the world as small clustered areas. Look for visual indicators like ore blocks grouped together in unusual patterns, or use a mod like Xray to scan for them. They can spawn at any height where their corresponding ore normally generates.
Do ore deposits regenerate after I mine them?
Yes, that's the core feature—ore blocks in deposits regenerate over time, allowing you to farm infinite ores from the same location. The regeneration happens gradually, so you won't see instant respawning.
Can I use Fortune on ore deposits?
Yes, Fortune enchantments work on ore deposits just like regular ores, so you can increase your yield per block mined.
Do modded ores get ore deposits too?
Yes, if a modded ore generates naturally above Y=8 in the overworld, it can spawn as a deposit. Check your mod's configuration to see which ores are included.
