Orevolution overhauls most of Minecraft’s mining aspects with new ores, alloys, tool 'powers', and refined mechanics that make every tier feel meaningful again.
orevolution's support for 1.21.4 was dropped, but i'll be working on porting Orevolution to newer versions.
Mod requires Blueprint
Main features this mod offers:
(⚙ Means you can enable/disable that feature)
(⚙) New ores:

(⚙) Plant ores: (They are not obtainable in 3.0.0, but they're still there if you want to test them)
Do you hate mining and would rather stay home with your farm, but would still want to upgrade your equipment? well, that's what plant ores are here for. These are unique variants of tin and platinum, allowing you to skip mining and just focus on something else

(⚙) Tools and armors powers:
Adds special characteristics (Which i call "Powers") to tools and armors. These powers will give more value to weaker tools, so that way you won't always think about getting stronger tools.
