Oreweaver Pickaxe

Quickstart

1. Craft an Oreweaver Pickaxe and some Creation Orbs using the recipes below.
2. Hold the pickaxe and keep at least one orb anywhere in your inventory.
3. Aim at a block within 6 blocks that has air on the face you’re pointing at, then use the pickaxe. One random ore appears in that adjacent air block, and one orb is consumed.
4. Mine the ore block normally. Try this in different biomes and dimensions to see which ores can appear.

Overview

The Oreweaver Pickaxe creates ore blocks by spending Creation Orbs. The ore is chosen at random from a pool based on the location where it appears, so it cannot make a specific ore on demand.

What It Adds

• Oreweaver Pickaxe: A mining tool that can create ore blocks when used with a Creation Orb.
• Creation Orb: The consumable used to create one ore block. Orbs stack up to 64.

How To Use

Look at a block and use the pickaxe. The ore appears in the air block just beyond the face you’re aiming at, so choose a face with open space. The targeted block must be within 6 blocks.

An orb is consumed only when an ore is successfully created. If nothing happens, check that you have an orb in your inventory and that the target face borders air.

Crafting And Obtaining

Both items are crafted at a crafting table. Each Creation Orb recipe produces 32 orbs.

Abilities And Mechanics

The available ores depend on the location of the empty block where the ore will appear:

Most generated ores use their regular ore-block form rather than a deepslate form. The pickaxe has 250 durability and mines stone, cobblestone, deepslate, cobbled deepslate, and the listed ores at speed 6.

Progression And Strategy

Carry a supply of Creation Orbs when exploring. Try generating ores in mountain biomes for a chance at emerald ore, or in the Nether for its distinct ore pool. To place an ore where you want it, aim at a block face with an open space directly beyond it.
