Colorful Ores

if you've ever been disappointed with minecraft's ore variety offerings, this mod may be able to help. through complicated block entity technology, any color of ore may be found in the world, gathered then smelted into ingots for blocks and tools!

recipes using a mix of different colored ingots will produce an output that alloys together every metal evenly, producing a perfect blend of their colors. crafty metallurgists may use this to be more specific with their shades of wall and tool.

if getting the materials for building with an exact color in bulk is proving painful, going underground for magical, pinkish and elusive mimiclay will allow you to replicate this mod's (and others, maybe!) decorative metal blocks.

it's worth noting that differently-colored ores and blocks won't stack with each other. while some might call this unpleasant, i personally think it creates an interesting inventory management experience. also, no-one's forcing you to mine the ores, and they invented bundles. its ok

this mod supports EMI, but most recipes are either in tips & tricks or are vanilla patterns.

Tips & Tricks

The output color is an average of the input colors in the RGB colorspace. Through proper appliation of this, you can create most colors, even with relatively unpleasant luck on natural ore colors.

sturdy plate blocks can be crafted by smelting plate blocks. These blocks both look different and feature a higher blast resistance, such that they can withstand tnt explosions.
