More Ores

Quickstart

1. Explore underground in the Overworld and mine Ruby Ore with an iron pickaxe or better. It drops Ruby Gems.
2. At a crafting table, turn gems and sticks into Ruby tools. Try the [Ruby Pickaxe]() first.
3. Craft the [Ruby Spear](), then use it while facing a nearby enemy to thrust and knock it back.
4. Make and equip all four Ruby armor pieces for Speed II and Haste II.

Overview

More Ores adds six underground ore families, their materials, and matching tools and armor. Ruby and Sapphire occur in the Overworld; Infernium and Magmite in the Nether; and Astralite and Celestium in the End.

What It Adds

Mining requirements vary by ore. An iron pickaxe or better can mine Ruby and Sapphire Ore; a diamond pickaxe is a useful choice when searching for the other ores. Infernium Ore drops Raw Infernium, which must be smelted into an Infernium Ingot before crafting with it.

Each material has a matching sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots. Ruby also has a spear.

How To Use

Use the matching tools as you would other Minecraft tools, and equip armor in the usual armor slots. Matching materials are used for their recipes; tools and weapons also use sticks.

The Ruby Spear can be used for a forward thrust against a nearby target within about 3 blocks. The thrust deals damage and knocks the target back. Hitting a target with the spear also causes knockback. The thrust has a 1.25-second cooldown.

Crafting And Obtaining

Abilities And Mechanics

Bonuses that require a full set only apply while wearing the helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots made from the same material. Slow Falling from a set bonus starts after you have been airborne for about one second.

Progression And Strategy

Start with Ruby or Sapphire in the Overworld, then explore the Nether for Infernium and Magmite and the End for Astralite and Celestium. Bring a diamond pickaxe when venturing for those other ores. Collect enough of a material to make a full armor set if you want its set bonus, and keep spare gems or crystals for repairing matching gear.
