### **Where Are The Ores? is a lightweight datapack that:**
\n– Disables ores from generating.
\n– Adds a chance for ores to drop when mining Stone, Deepslate, or Netherrack.<\/p>\n
**Instead of going into caves looking for ores, now you can mine Stone, Deepslate, or Netherrack to get ores!**<\/p>\n
# Features:
\n#### \u2022 Removed ore gen
\n#### \u2022 Mining Stone\/Deepslate in the Overworld has a chance to drop overworld ores.
\n#### \u2022 Mining Netherrack in the Nether has a chance to drop nether ores.
\n#### \u2022 Works with normal tools and enchantments.<\/p>\n
### Why use this datapack?
\n Where Are The Ores? adds realism by mining for ores instead of looking for them. Mining for just Stone, Deepslate, or Netherrack gives you ores; It’s like a reward for the time spent.<\/p>\n
# Compatibility:
\n This datapack only modifies block loot tables and worldgen files. It should work with most datapacks unless they also modify the same loot tables and worldgen files.
