Ore Stone Variants

About

This mod adds new ore variants for andesite, diorite, granite, and virtually any other block, which can be configured in the common config file. It is capable of generating new textures and model files, replicating and modifying drops, recipes, and world generation properties, and is intended to do just about anything that any other ore generation mod can do, within reason. 

This mod is highly configurable and almost all features can be finely tuned. So much so that users should expect a small learning curve when adding support for new ores or modifying existing ore properties. A wiki is coming soon!

Block Imitation

Generated variants are capable of dynamically emulating various features from other background stone and ore blocks, including:

• Gravity
• Rotation data (6.0+)
• Particle effects
• Oxidation (6.0+)
• Mob spawning (6.0+)
• Various other modded functionalities

Custom Ores

Users can create additional variants by writing new presets which define custom light levels, texture paths, generation properties, and more.

These variants can then be placed in almost any block by creating new entries in the common config file, or by running this command:

/osv put <new_ore> [<additional_ores>] in <stone_type>

Because some people just want to watch the world burn; and others just want coal in a log.
