Ore Deposits Mod FAQ

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.

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.

Yes, Fortune enchantments work on ore deposits just like regular ores, so you can increase your yield per block mined.

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.

Use a pickaxe with high efficiency and consider adding Unbreaking to reduce tool wear. Mine systematically to expose all ore blocks, and use Fortune if you want to maximize drops while waiting for regeneration.

Ore deposits are generated naturally by the mod; there's no built-in creative placement tool. You'll need to find them naturally spawning in your world.

No, ore deposits only generate in the overworld. Nether and End ores do not spawn as deposits.

Ore deposits are relatively lightweight since they're just small static structures. Performance impact should be minimal, but having many deposits loaded at once in a heavily explored world might have a slight effect.

This depends on the mod's configuration file—check the config folder for options to blacklist specific ores or adjust deposit generation rates.

Yes, ore deposits are compatible with most mining and tool mods. However, some mods that heavily modify ore generation might conflict—test in your world to be sure.
