Ores

Ores in Matcha Flavoured are mostly renamed vanilla ores, some with new drops or generation. Emerald ore becomes native silver, lapis ore splits into quartz deposits and natural lapis lazuli, and redstone ore becomes the fossil, a source of bones, while its deepslate variant is the sulfur deposit. Adamant tools smelt the drops of several ores (see the table); electrum tools add Fortune.

Where each ore generates by Y level: grey is as in vanilla, teal is changed or added by the pack, and dashed shapes are extra veins in the biomes named.

Ore	Vanilla block	Drops	Generation
Coal Deposit	Coal Ore	1–2 coal (2–4 from the deepslate variant), affected by Fortune and electrum	As vanilla, plus large veins (size 17, 30 attempts per chunk) between the world bottom and y=0 under deserts.
Native Copper	Copper Ore	1–2 raw copper (2–5 from the deepslate variant); adamant tools drop copper ingots	As vanilla copper ore.
Hematite	Iron Ore	1 raw iron, with Fortune and electrum bonuses (adamant tools drop ingots)	As vanilla iron ore.
Native Gold	Gold Ore	1 raw gold, affected by Fortune and electrum from the deepslate variant only (the stone variant's raw gold entry is still in the old loot format, which the game doesn't read; see Native Gold#Breaking); adamant tools drop a gold ingot. Needs an iron or better pickaxe	As vanilla gold ore.
Native Silver	Emerald Ore	1 raw silver, affected by Fortune and electrum; adamant tools drop silver bullion	In mountain biomes and the deep dark the vanilla emerald feature runs at 50 attempts per chunk (vanilla 100), plus 5 deep attempts. Stony peaks get only the 50 attempts, the beach biome and the sulfur caves get none, and every other overworld biome (snowy beaches and stony shores included) gets 3 deep attempts. Deep veins follow a triangle from y=16 down to the world bottom, most common at the bottom.
Quartz Deposit	Lapis Lazuli Ore	2–5 quartz; adamant tools drop glass	The vanilla lapis feature, changed to 12 attempts per chunk (vanilla 2) between y=−32 and y=96.
Natural Lapis Lazuli	Deepslate Lapis Lazuli Ore	4–9 lapis lazuli (vanilla table)	The deepslate part of the quartz deposit feature, plus the vanilla buried lapis veins.
Fossil	Redstone Ore	2–5 bones, affected by Fortune and electrum	The upper vanilla redstone veins, moved to between y=16 and y=56 (vanilla: the world bottom to y=15), 4 attempts per chunk, most common around y=36. Where a vein meets deepslate it places a sulfur deposit.
Sulfur Deposit	Deepslate Redstone Ore	1–2 sulfur chunks	The vanilla lower redstone veins, from the world bottom to y=−32, and any deepslate the fossil veins reach. Emits sulfur particles when stepped on.
Diamond Ore	Diamond Ore	raw diamond, affected by Fortune and electrum; adamant tools smelt it into a diamond (since 1.12.8-beta)	As vanilla.
Gilded Hellstone	Nether Gold Ore	2–6 gold nuggets; adamant tools drop a gold ingot. Can be blasted into a gold ingot	As vanilla nether gold ore in Hell.
Sulfurous Hellstone	Nether Quartz Ore	1–2 sulfur chunks	As vanilla nether quartz ore in Hell. Emits sulfur particles when stepped on.

Worldgen changes are in the biome overrides and worldgen/placed_feature; biome details are on Biomes.

History

1.12.8-beta October 23, 2026	Redstone ore, until then the sulfurous quartz deposit that dropped sulfur and quartz, became the fossil, which drops bones and generates higher up. Sulfur deposits got new textures, and they and sulfurous hellstone emit sulfur particles when stepped on. Adamant tools smelt diamond ore's drop into a diamond.
