Hey fellow miners and modders!
Tired of digging into walls only to be flooded with ores after just five blocks? Want mining to feel rewarding again—like it used to?

Introducing ⛏️ Reduced Ores, a lightweight Forge mod designed to bring back scarcity, tension, and balance to your underground adventures.

🔻 What It Does:

Reduced Ores cuts back ore spawn rates and vein (blob) sizes across all dimensions — including modded ones.
Instead of being knee-deep in iron, you’ll finally care about finding that one chunk of diamond again.

• 📉 Adjustable spawn rates (e.g. coal spam no more)
• 🪨 Vein sizes reduced for smaller, more realistic clusters
• ⚙️ Fully configurable
• 🧩 Supports modded ores from dozens of mods (like Create, All The Ores, etc.)

🎯 Who's It For?

• Players who enjoy survival, RPG, or hardcore mining styles
• Modpack creators who want to balance loot abundance
• Anyone who’s sick of getting netherite by Day 3 😅

🧪 Bonus: Works Out of the Box

No need for datapacks or custom loot tables. Just drop it in and tweak the config if needed!
