Ores Above Diamonds Mod Wiki & Guide
Ores Above Diamonds is a high-tier expansion mod for Minecraft that introduces Amethyst and Black Opal, two extremely rare minerals that surpass Diamond and Netherite in durability, efficiency, and combat power.
Overview
Ores Above Diamonds (OAD) is designed for players who find the endgame of Minecraft too easily reachable. It adds two new tiers of materials—Amethyst and Black Opal—which are significantly rarer than diamonds but offer vastly superior stats. The mod also features a unique 'Netherite Opal' tier, which combines the properties of Black Opal with the lava-resistance of Netherite.
Key features include a specialized enchantment transfer system via the Smithing Table, customizable ore rarity through configuration files, and armor that scales its protection based on the severity of incoming damage.
