Subterranean Switcheroo Mod — Reference
Fusion Ores
Fusion Ores are the core mechanic of the mod. These unique ores generate in addition to vanilla ores and contain multiple resources. A key feature of Fusion Ores is that they are immune to Fortune and Ore Processing (such as doubling or tripling). This ensures that players can use them immediately without feeling the need to save them for advanced machinery.
Types of Fusion Ores
| Ore Name | Primary Resource | Secondary Resource | Processing Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red-Iron Ore | Redstone | Iron Ingot | Smelt for Iron, Sift for Redstone |
| Golden Diamond Ore | Gold Ingot | Diamond | Smelt for Gold, Scrape/Sift for Diamond |
| Redgold Ore | Redstone | Gold Ingot | Smelt for Gold, Sift for Redstone |
Fusion ores allow players to choose which resource they need most at any given time. For example, a Golden Diamond ore can be melted down for gold or carefully scraped to yield diamonds, though typically you receive more of the lower-tier resource than the higher-tier one.
Blocks and Items
Beyond fusion ores, the mod adds several utility blocks and rare materials found deep underground.
Specialized Ores
- Clay Ore: Clay now generates underground in ore form. Unlike vanilla clay, it requires a pickaxe to mine, making it consistent with other subterranean resources.
- Obsidian Ore: A rare ore that drops Obsidian Shards or chunks, which can be crafted back into solid Obsidian blocks.
Materials and Resources
- Clavel: A rare material used in advanced crafting.
- Slay: A rare ore that can be baked into Lattice Glass, a decorative glass block with a unique lattice texture.
- Depths Soul: A flammable material that emits "ominous energy." It is often found in deep underground structures.
- Brickflint: A processed form of flint used for construction.
- Lapidite Pulp: A byproduct of processing certain ores, used in various recipes.
