28 INCREDIBLE Mining Mods For Minecraft (Forge & Fabric)

There’s plentiful amazing blocks here Minecraft and a lot of precious oars and gemstones to mine and collect to smelt and craft into powerful items like armor and swords you can then enchant these items to pack a real punch Road deny tools and armor end game is a big leap

In Minecraft and at this point there’s little to do in terms of standard progression but Minecraft is a non-linear game so you can always make new goals or create more stuff to do one thing is to get higher tiers of tools and armor through mods using this new

End game armor and tools mod you can become pretty overpowered at the end of your journey the real tonight ore is actually in the end and can be gathered with a pickaxe which drops its dust you can then smelt this dust in a furnace in order to form the real deny ingots which

You can then craft into the tools and armor by using the same recipe format as most of the other sets in the game the armor actually gives some nice bonuses and Buffs to the player for wearing each piece for an example you get creative mode style flight and flying for wearing

The armor and some more cool positive effects and there’s not just a sword but you can also craft a rhodonite bow in the mod too Bedrock oars this mod is a nice New World Generation type mod that brings a new way to acquire resources in the game that’s a little more unexpected

Than usual the interesting thing this mod does is it doesn’t just add new or block types it actually adds new ore clusters that are contained within Bedrock blocks that the play can mine like they would using tools or normal laws now the only difference is that the original Bedrock blocks don’t break when

You do this in this situation each time a Bedrock block is mined It’s contained or inside it reduces until the deposit is empty and it turns back into a normal Bedrock block the further the blocks are in relation to the spawn point of the world the higher the yield of ores that

You can obtain from them to prevent you having to individually mine every single block you can also use a brand new machine block from the mod which is the Bedrock Miner that automatically Harvest bedrock in a five by three by five 5 block radius below the position of the

Machine using coal or other fuels or via a power source connection such as Forge energy or Redstone flux inputs you can use it and it will eject any oars that it collects into the inventory located above the miner so you’ll need to place a chest or Hopper or something for it to

Output its contents to end Metals if you want yen to be a little more useful other than just defeating the Ender Dragon then this mod should give it that needed upgrade basically end Metals adds vanilla and modded all types into the end Dimension so you don’t have to just

Mine in the Overworld this mod also has support for the base Metals mod which I will feature a little later in this video too this mod adds end versions of iron lapis lazuli Redstone coal gold diamond and emerald as well as the oars from the base Metals mod if you have

That installed too which are copper tin lead silver zinc nickel Mercury Platinum antimony and these are really nice additions that I think really breathe more life into the end Dimension as a whole mythology if you’ve exhausted all of the mining opportunities and Gem gathering in the world of Minecraft this mod is basically

An entire overhaul to the mining system in the game by granting 48 plus brand new metals to collect and craft with this mod also changes the standard height limits for the various ores in the game by removing the height restrictions for a more Dynamic level of gameplay the base Metals include copper

Tin bronze hepatizon and melon Damascus steel manganese and steel to make items of stone to Diamond quality the zinc brass silver electrum and platinum as the all-new heavy metals to make simple tools with pretty good enchants in the nether you can gather Ignatius Shadow iron lemurite Shadow steel midasium

Xeroxerase Syracuse adlerite Inu lashite kalindra white armor drying vulcanite and sanguinite which can be used for different things like smelting fuels and in the new smelter block which is a new furnace type which is powered by lava there’s promethium deep iron infusolium black steel hour Clays average right

Astral silver carmot mithril Rob racium Quicksilver haderoth or a calcum Selena Gill Adamantite atleras and tartarite as new fantasy metals of varying strength that are very rare you can use these with the abstractor block to transmute old Metals into experience orbs then in the end there’s eximites mutorite and

Desert chalcos which can be used for stronger Alloys and more there’s simply too much to cover in this mod from Advanced Alloys countless new machines like Crusher blocks and so much more just from the amount of oars which I listed in a huge exhausting to listen to

List you can probably guess that this mod is pretty huge but it’s worth a adding to your mod pack in my opinion ores above diamonds with 1.16 Diamond now has a big brother netherite if you always thought Diamond was overrated anyway and always believed that it should have something a little bit

Better in comparison to it even before netherite was blessed upon us then this mod might interest you this one brings amethyst and black opal gems to the game which are aimed at the later game phase of Minecrafts which are more powerful and rarer than diamonds are amethyst is

Mind using a diamond pickaxe and is three times rarer than diamond with 50 more efficiency and 1.75 times more durability black Opals can be mined with an amethyst pick they’re nine times rarer than diamonds with a plus 100 efficiency bonus in comparison and 3.5 percent more durability than Diamond

Offers this is a nice mod to add some really strong tool and armor sets to your game or sheep mod a little different themed mod here to add to this list for some variation the all sheeps mod lets you teach your sheep to eat Stone by inflicting them with blush

Potion of weakness and then feeding them diamonds they will switch up their grass eating habits for grinding stone and rocks instead they’ll basically eat anything that’s Stone like buttons or other stone block types when all sheep consume oars they will grow that aura on their back instead of a walk out you can

Then use a pickaxe to Shear the Sheep to get ores from them you can breed two together with a stone-based block to create a baby or sheep that will then grow one of the oars that one of their parent sheeps is growing in creative mode you can also right click an ore on

One of these sheep to make it grow that particular type of auron Base Metals if you feel like something is missing in Minecraft base Metals add some commonly used elements and metals to the game like silver tin lead zinc Mercury nickel and platinum as well as copper which is

Coming officially in Minecraft 1.17 soon you can craft different metal alloys along with a new tool the crack Hammer which lets you double your all production when you’re playing there’s also some new fantasy based metal types added to the Nether and the end which are mithril Star Steel Adamantite and

Cold iron the thing I like a lot about this mod is that you can make a lot of these Metals into metal blocks trap doors and each respective door types metal bar variants and more it’s good for building and for bulking out your world with some new heavy metals Bedrock

Miner who hates Bedrock okay now who loves Bedrock feelings may be a little mixed Bedrock is sometimes a little Annoying to hit when you mine down and sometimes it’s a dream killer when we want to break free of the world’s limits while you can always punch through it in

Creative mode and fall through an endless void if that’s what you want to do this small mod brings you a new tool set into the game which is based off Bedrock blocks the new way that you can mine bedrock is by using the new pickaxe as well as the breaker machine in order

To harvest those tricky blocks which you can then use to make new items and other blocks with you first locate your Bedrock chunks or find them in stronghold chess which are extremely rare and then craft the pickaxe to mine the rest of the real Bedrock blocks

There’s a whole tool set a new armor set a new machine and block and a lot of fun to be had mining Bedrock basic netherores the premise of this mod is to bring the vanilla oars into The Nether Dimension a little similar to how one of

The mods I featured on this list brings some of the oars and some new ones into the end but this one does the same for the nether this upgrades the recently enhanced nether in order to let players spend a little extra time in it by offering the same ore availability that

The Overworld gives us you have an extended ability to mine now in the nether due to the other ore type spawning in that the vanilla oars in the Overworld have similar or higher spawn rates than they do now in the nether to match or balance the gameplay and it

Makes prospecting in the nether viable and something worth doing now this is a nice little mod to improve than ever even after the Minecraft 1.16 the nether update came out or Prospectors this awesome little mod adds some little gadgets to the game that lets you search

For in a nearby radius when you click on a block it will search in the opposite direction to attempt to seek out precious horse the weakest prospector items will let you find coal and iron with higher level ones letting you find a much better level horse the great

Thing about this mod is that you can add new blocks and oars into the config file so that you can support customers and blocks from other mods you have installed too which is a nice little touch simple oars this mod is a relatively small sized mod that had to

Take a space on this list for how useful it is in extending the vanilla game basically it adds a collection of five brand new ores to the game copper tin mithril adamantium and Onyx Onyx is a special oil that can be found within the nether whilst the other oars are all

Within the Overworld this mod also has the unique armor and sets of tools as well as weapons to all of these oars too this mod is good for making the mining and advancing system in the game a little different for those who’ve already played the game over many many

Times already if you’ve already created countless of survival worlds or defeated the Ender Dragon multiple times then maybe you just want to change the variation of how you advance in the game and just change the whole system in general this mod improves it by adding a

Selection of new ores that you can find and craft into New Gear to make the Minecraft game slightly different to vanilla Divergent underground the Divergent underground mod is a series of additions and expansions to the underground system in Minecraft it aims to blend itself in well with vanilla Minecraft and be simple and

Semi-realistic the mod replaces the drops of naturally generated rocks with an item drop to make it more realistic the gemstones now drop uncut versions instead of perfect gems and they must be manually cut with a chisel item to create their perfect gem which will also Grant experience the mod also adds four

Different layers known as stratter layers to the block generation layout underground meaning as you go further down mining the stone blocks become darker and darker there’s a lot of different new additions changes and mechanics in this mod it’s a pretty complicated to explain but it also

Supports a lot of oars from popular mods out there some which are thermal expansion biomes are plenty Quark mechanism Tinkers Construct forestry and a few more mods Lucky oars the lucky horse mod is basically the mining version of the famous lucky blocks mod basically it adds lucky oars instead of

Lucky Blocks which is a way to integrate lucky blocks into the game in a more realistic and streamlined way when mined these oars trigger random events just like lucky blocks and generate naturally in the world just like any other ore in the vanilla game for those who love the

Concept and gameplay of Lucky Blocks perhaps you played the lucky block data pack or the lucky blocks mod in the past then this mod makes the game more fun by adding two blocks and items to the game the two Lucky Block ores are the mysterious glowing ore and also the

Eerie glowing ore which both sound pretty magical that’s one reason why the mod is good because it makes the oars with added more like magical rather than just random blocks which trigger events like lucky blocks do so it makes it more realistic in a fancy

Kind of way check out the mod if you want to have fun and see what’s in store as a surprise for you exp ore this mod adds a brand new ore block called exp ore that adds one new simple block to the game which stores and grants XP when

Broken when you destroy one of these blocks by mining it it will give you experience it gives you around 500 to 1 500 experience per block mind and it’s also fully configurable meaning if you want to change the XP you get or any of the other properties then you can do

It’s basically another way of adding XP gaining to the game but also in a different way sometimes gaining XP from the simple mining method by mining for a long time or by defeating mobs and doing the other tasks in the game can take quite long so this mod can make the

Process just a little bit quicker who knows maybe you’ll get lucky if you’re mine for a long time you might find a lot of these exp blocks and in turn level up quite quickly to quite high level but remember in Minecraft if you do die you will lose your level so just

Be careful of that lava and Mining vulcanite or I featured this mod in my video called Eight Minecraft mods that’s improve the nether Dimension but it had to take another place on this list in this video because of how great it is it basically adds a brand new ore into the

Never dimensions depths called vulcanite which can be mined with an iron pickaxe or any tier higher such as gold or Diamond the properties of this ore are very similar to iron but the properties of the armor and tools make it just a little bit better each armor piece you

Craft from vulcanite reduces your damage from lava sources such as lava itself fire and magma blocks by a specific percentage margin however what’s really cool is that if you have a full armor set it will reduce your damage from the sources by over 70 percent making lava in the never less dangerous when

Exploring and basically meaning you can explore the nether without worrying too much the sword and tools also deal 15 more damage to fire immune mobs and perhaps the coolest feature in this mod is that when you mine ores with the pickaxe it instantly smelts The Ore

After mining it so for an example when you mine iron ore it will drop an iron ingot not an actual iron ore block so it removes the whole purpose of having to smelt them in a furnace later saving you a lot of time dense ores this mod adds a

Brand new variation of each and every vanilla ore in Minecraft by adding new so-called dense versions which will drop around three times the amount of the regular ore version making them far more valuable to find and extending the variation and difference in the types of oils you can find the game will generate

Around one to ten of these blocks per chunk which will replace other ores generated but they are slightly more rare to find and definitely pay off by granting you far more drops than standard vanilla or veins this is a nice little mod to add a little variation to

The oars that you find underground to make it have more of a payoff to mine for longer periods of time in the game especially especially when you’re thinking about finding a dense horse at the start of the game making a full set of diamond armor and tools can take a

Long time so adding a mod to increase the size of all veins is something that will really help your gameplay when playing Minecraft survival mode never ending ores on any list of all and gems mods you need to have an expansive upgrade for ores in other dimensions not

Just the Overworld which is the purpose of never-ending oars this mod adds brand new ores to the nether but also to the end Dimension 2. the mod is highly configurable in terms of smelting recipes for the furnace to match up to standard Villas basically it adds the standard coal iron gold diamond lapis

Redstone and quartz to the other dimensions that they don’t already exist in such as adding all of the standard Overworld oars to the Nether and some to the end as well as quartz to the Overworld the reason why I really like this mod is just because it makes the

Other dimensions in the game actually beneficial and useful in terms of mining also making more reason to go there and less reasons to have to always come back when you need to get horse it’s a mod which really adds features that should already be in the game Advanced finders

This one is a pretty unique mod which is why I featured it here in this video basically the advanced finders mod adds brand new Compass items which will help you Target and find nearby oars gems and metals much more easily than without them it displays the direction to nearby

Oars around the player and detects ores at a very low depth as well as making a signal when large ore deposits are found the mod actually also works really well on servers if you’re running a modded Minecraft server or making a mod pack to support multiplayer there’s a range of

Different finder items for different types of ores there is an iron gold and diamond finder for an example each which is slightly harder to craft than the previous tier the mod already supports a pretty large and diverse list of other ore mods but you can also add custom

Oars from other mods or your own mods by creating configs for them in the the mod folder most of the best mods are configurable and advanced finders is definitely one of the large ore deposits the large or deposits mod basically adds brand new huge or veins into the world

These veins are quite rare but if you find them it’s a huge payoff these super or vein deposits are much larger than standard ore veins and you will really feel like you hit the jackpot if you find diamonds although the concept of this mod is very similar to the dense

Oars mod it doesn’t just add more dense or compact variants that Grant more drops these large ore deposits are exactly what it says in the mod title they are large order deposits just much more larger veins of oars which are added into the game you can configurate

The whole mod and add support for other modded ores and control the generation of these deposits as well as more options it basically makes the Minecraft mining experience more exciting by adding the potential of finding these rare sets of ores when you’re exploring especially if you run multiple mods off

This list at once your Minecraft experience will be truly great or excavation to save some serious time this mod lets you mine entire whole veins of ore at once but it also behaves as a tree capitator mod by letting you also cut down whole trees or perform other tool-based actions in one single

Go these can be configured super simply this mod lets you mine entire or veins cut down whole trees bulk Harvest and excavate almost any configured block it works with almost every single modern tool if it’s tagged correctly as one and you can Blacklist both blocks and tools

The great thing is that you can configure the speed size distance and durability cost of the excavation actions which can all be configured in the in-game mod menu letting you customize shaped Mining and block grouping this is a really great mod for convenience and it makes things so much

More straightforward and saves a lot of time I featured this mod on some of my other top 10 Minecraft mod videos because it’s one of the best utility mods out there it also falls under the ore and gems mods because it’s all about mining in this mod it takes inspiration

From other mods out there such as tree capitator and also is similar to mods such as trees don’t float which is slightly newer but it’s also better basically your excavation mod will enhance and improve your mining experience by allowing you to set a keybind in the options menu which when

Activated whilst mining will mine every single or block that’s connected to each other at one time in simple terms instead of breaking just one block per time you mine it will break the entire or vein together at once which is really useful and it saves a whole bunch of

Time when mining not only can you mine all oars you can also use it to cut whole trees down or break other blocks at the same time of the same block type but beware because it also works on random blocks as well you combine all Cobblestone or wood or grass at once or

All dirt basically it works for any Block in the game which is why you have a blacklist and whitelist and config to set up the March because it really accompanies the game well but if you don’t want it to break the game or cause a few bugs then you should definitely

Adds some of the standard blocks to The Blacklist so it doesn’t get activated in this mod scannable this handy future Tech based mod is a smart addition for any Explorer’s tool set this scanner item lets you survey nearby points of interest offering visualized scan results for a short period in a readable

Manner that highlights important fundamentals in your world as on-screen overlays the scanner supports up to three modules at once optional modules include animal detection to see entities monster detection entity detection for specific ones fluid detection block detection a range booster and also the two that we’re mainly focusing on here

Which is a common ore detection for blocks like coal and iron and rare or detection for others like golden diamonds this mod offers useful method of locating ores a little bit easier without being too overpowered like The X-Ray Mod actually additions this mod that adds various useful new utilities

Machines and Foods has a very useful set of tools that can be applied for the use of mining blocks what I’m talking about is actually additions drills that can be used to break blocks at the cost of 100 Crystal flux energy per block which is restored by charging them in an

Energizer or a CF charging device these drills can also be dyed in order to distinguish them from others with a unique color and various different upgrades can be installed into them by shift right-clicking when holding a drill item these drills contain five separate upgrade slots although lower

Tiers of each upgrade type must be installed in order to install the higher tier one you can place single batteries or other battery types in these slots in order to pull energy from those batteries rather than the CF energy option the upgrades let you change the speed add silk touch fortune and Mining

Augments or block placing abilities to the drills to improve them in some way Bedrock minor Bedrock is not usually minable so a very powerful utility would be the means of mining it right well with this small mod you can acquire a stable tool set that includes both a new

Pickaxe as well as a braking machine block which both allow for the mining of Bedrock interesting so if you want to finally reveal the void and meddle with the powers that be gather this resource and use it to craft a few new items and blocks whilst you’re at it you’ll need

To find Bedrock chunks in a mine shaft or in stronghold chess as a rare Loop drop and craft Bedrock blocks with them with these you can make the pickaxe to then mine real bedrock in your world and get access to the other items and blocks their ads the mod features both new

Tools and armor of the highest durability but the lowest enchant ability for balance as well as new blocks and the new machine to harvest bedrock and all the other blocks when you activate it mining Lantern in order to offer another method of casting light from the player the mining Lantern mod

Offers a simple item to do this using special shaders meaning it’s not exactly a real Minecraft light and thus will not affect mob spawning the mining Lansing will display on the player’s back and it will change texture depending on if it’s activated or not and it can also

Function as a trinket which fit it’s into a slot if you’re using the Bobble mode and that’s present using the default key which is V or a rebinded keybind you can activate this item to toggle it simply on or off and it will cast light around you in order to

Explore more easily night vision mining hats if you’re too lazy to put up torches or simply don’t have the means of crafting hundreds of them be it due to a lack of materials or any other reason you can use this mod to craft a collection of three different mining

Hats which can be used for navigating The Depths below your world in the deep dark chasms this mod offers the iron the gold and the diamond night vision hats or mining hats that offer a night vision buff which lets you see underground without other means of Illuminating it

Each one is crafted with the base or base helmet and then with the three glowstone blocks and two redstone blocks surrounding it mining tweaks this mod bases itself around a config file which can also be edited within the in-game GUI config editor it basically behaves as a mod that lets you fully customize

The hardness and resistance levels of any of the blocks in the vanilla based game or contained with any running mods in order to make them harder or easier to mine affecting their mining level and changing how they naturally behave this is particularly good for Modpack authors

Wanting to change the game or for people who want to make some of the bass ores a little harder to gather for an example if you’re looking to make the game into a total conversion and switch things up a little bit you may want to get this mod to edit properties mining goggles

Everyone’s heard of X-ray hey I’ve even made a bunch of tutorials on how to use that mod or the texture pack versions but what this mod does is it Bridges the X-ray cheat with an actual in-game item that can be applied to a real in-game situation and be used by the player to

Achieve a similar result to using x-ray the mining goggles makes all prospecting far Easier by letting you visualize ores by rendering the oars visually and are all fully modular with Buffs for mining purposes using the game’s or dictionary these Nifty little things will let you visualize or from a distance or through

Blocks letting you see them through stone for an example although it can also be used for other blocks like wood for locating trees you equip these goggles in the helmet slot and access the filter menu using the b key where you can then add an order dictionary

Entry to the colored filter boxes where you can add multiple entries and a corresponding color for the rendering outline of that or block mining gadgets for a change of pace when Excavating let’s focus on some technology the mining gadgets mod offers something different to the usual options of

Pickaxes drills balls robots or quarries lasers you can use lasers with this mod which perform as a series of different powered lasers which you can craft and use to eviscerate the surrounding terrain the amazing part of this mod is that you can upgrade them with different perks and modifiers that make them far

More effective or useful with gadgets that gravitate all broken blocks and dropped items towards you for an example this is an amazing and unique mod that everyone needs to take for a spin at least once and it’s not your typical resource Gathering mod because it switches things up BuildCraft BuildCraft

Is one of the greatest technology mods of all time in my humble opinion although the reason I’m featuring it in this particular list is for the single machine that it beholds the Quarry the Quarry is the ultimate mining tool for the collection and Gathering of oars and underground blocks the Quarry is super

Simple to set up you just use a set of four markers on the area of construction and then place down a quarry block the Quarry needs transport pipes connected to it if you want to link it up to a chest to transfer and store items that

It will mine then you need an engine preferably a set of engines you can use Redstone engines although they’re cheap to run they’re also prone to overheat oil-based combustion engines although more expensive and require natural resources are far more reliable and using multiple engines works best the

Quarry frame will then slowly build when activated and then the drill will form and slowly mine layers and rows of stone in the configured area and mine them down below although it’s a lot slower than manual player Mining and less targeted it’s amazing for automated mining with minimal effort if you

Enjoyed the video give it a like if you disagree with the top orange gemstone mods in this video and you think I missed your favorite mining mod then definitely let me know what that is in the comments section below so I can feature it next time if you want to see
