Overground Ores
by shaneeexd
Overground Ores is a worldgen Minecraft mod from shaneeexd with 604 downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Forge, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Overground Ores is free to download and free to host on Orca: press Play and Orca launches Minecraft with Overground Ores already installed, or host it on a free server to play with friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Overground Ores along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.
A mod that allows vanilla ores to generate above ground. (As seen in the Hexxit modpack)
