Ore Automation Mod

Overview

Ore Automation adds a brand new way to gather ores by battling living ore creatures! Explore underground dungeons and Nether vaults to find miniature ore mobs that drop ore blocks when defeated.

Features

• 8 Unique Ore Mobs: Each ore type has its own living creature
  • Overworld: Coal, Iron, Gold, Redstone, Lapis, Diamond, and Emerald
  • Nether: Ancient Debris
• Defensive Creatures: They won't attack first, but hit them and they defend themselves!
• Special Structures: Discover large underground dungeons and buried Nether vaults
• Guaranteed Loot: Each mob drops 1-3 of their ore block when defeated
• Size Matters: Rare ores like Diamond and Ancient Debris are bigger and tougher
• Spawn Eggs: Available in Creative mode to spawn any ore mob instantly

How to Use

Finding the Structures

Overworld Dungeons:

• Look for large underground structures while mining (depth -48 to y-level 16)
• About as common as villages
• Lit by wall lanterns - look for the glow!

Nether Vaults:

• Buried deep in the Netherrack (y-level 10 to 100)
• Slightly rarer than Overworld dungeons
• Home to Ancient Debris mobs

Battling the Mobs

1. Be Careful: These mobs are defensive - they only fight back if you hit them first
2. Bring Gear: They fight like zombies with 10-25 health depending on the ore type
3. Collect Loot: Each mob drops 1-3 ore blocks of their type

Creative Mode

Open your inventory and look in the Spawn Eggs tab. You'll find eggs for all 8 ore mob types!

Tips & Tricks

• Dungeon chests contain bonus loot including a map to the nearest village
• Diamond and Ancient Debris mobs are the biggest and toughest - come prepared!
• The mobs make clinking stone sounds, so listen carefully while exploring
• Ancient Debris mobs are fire immune (they live in the Nether after all!)

Known Limitations

• Structure NBT templates need to be created separately for custom dungeon layouts
• Looting enchantment doesn't currently affect drop amounts
