Molten Vents is a mod which adds a renewable source of the orestones found in the Create mod, and by extension the many resources that can be processed from them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## How to use:
\n– Locate a vent; Vents are found anywhere on the surface, but are more easily found underwater. (Configurable)
\n– Dig out the blocks inside of the vent until you find a block that looks like the orestones the vent is made of except with magma on it, that is the **dormant orestone**.
\n– Explode the **dormant orestone** by any means.
\n– Notice that the **dormant molten vent** is now an **active molten vent** by seeing the magma in it become brighter.
\n– Dump lava (preferrably via an automated method) on the **active molten vent** and watch as the lava turns into the corresponding orestone.
\n– Process the orestones into resources, or use them for building. <\/p>\n
## Default Vents:
\n– Veridium Vent
\n– Asurine Vent
\n– Crimsite Vent
\n– Ochrum Vent
\n– Scorchia Vent
\n– Scoria Vent<\/p>\n
## How to add a custom molten block – Copy paste any other file in the config\/molten_vents\/conductive & config\/molten_vents\/convertible folders. Make a datapack that adds these two jsons: Then make a resourcepack that adds the name translations, blockstates, models, and textures for “molten_vents.active_molten_exampleblock” and “molten_vents.dormant_molten_exampleblock” (optional)<\/p>\n # How to make a custom molten vent feature Examples are here: <\/p>\n <=1.20.1\n\n>=1.21<\/p>\n Discord:\u00a0https:\/\/discord.gg\/HHqKa8vTAN <\/p>\n This mod may be used in any modpack.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adds a renewable source of the orestones found in the Create mod, and by extension, many resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":49591,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"create-molten-vents","_minecraft_project_id":"uuVy6k1s","_minecraft_author":"Apothicon","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":580097,"_minecraft_follows":132,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"create-molten-vents.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1709514,"_minecraft_version_count":27,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T16:15:11.338897Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-05-31T00:40:37.979388Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-07-23T15:44:28.327720Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/create-molten-vents","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":49591,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-02T14:07:38+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"503bda0cdcf911c50c073d3fcd9dd0a8","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[104,126,158,123,869,159],"mod_loader":[106,160],"minecraft_version":[53,56,59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,73,74,38,78,79,80,81],"class_list":["post-49590","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-forge","mod_category-management","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-technology","mod_category-transportation","mod_category-worldgen","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-neoforge","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nJust add the name of the block to this list (a .json file that generates in the config folder)
\n“`json
\n{“values”:[“asurine”,”veridium”,”crimsite”,”ochrum”,”scorchia”,”scoria”,”exampleblock”]}
\n“`
\nAnd then depending on your modloader: <\/p>\nNeoforge<\/summary>\n
\n– Rename the files to the name of the custom block.
\n– Change values inside the files (Conductive is a list of blocks the molten vent can convert blocks through, it must contain the active molten vent at minimum. Convertible is a list of blocks the molten vent can convert into the new block. (ex. lava -> asurine))

\nJust recreate your own copy of the placed and configured feature jsons available in the base mod in the respective directories within your own datapack:

\nThen add your placed feature to the forge biome modifiers:
