Top 10 Best Minecraft Mining Mods (Ore & Gemstone Mods)

What’s up guys my name is Dean aka the blue Crusader and welcome back to the channel minecraft is a vast game with a huge world full of blocks and places to explore one of the main mechanics of the game is mining for precious gems to create armored tools weapons of valuable

Items such as the enchanting table but when you finally reach endgame sometimes you may wish you could expand the game by adding more things to do and more ores and tears of gems which is a great way to do this in this video I’ll be talking about the top 10 minecraft or in

Gems mops these ore and gems mods bring brand new armor and tools into the game or make the whole process of mining and finding new veins of ore much easier or interesting without further ado let’s get into the video number 10 simple ores this mod is a

Relatively small sized mod that had to take a space on this list for how useful is in extending the vanilla game basically adds a collection of five brand-new ores to the game copper tin mithril adamantium and onyx onyx is a special all that can be found within the Neverland whilst the other are

All within the overworld this mod also has the unique armor and sets of tools as well as weapons to all of these ores to this mod is good for making the mining and advancing system in the game a little different for those who have 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 number 9 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 heightened 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 horse the grounds experience the mod also adds four different layers known as strata layers to the block generation layout underground meaning as you go further down mining the stone box 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 awards from popular mods out there some which are thermal expansion biomes o plenty quark mechanism tinker’s constructs forestry and a few more mods number 8 a lucky ores the lucky oz mod is basically the mining version of the famous lucky

Blocks mod basically adds lucky ores instead of lucky blocks which is a way to integrate lucky blocks into the game in a more realistic and streamlined way when mind these ores trigger random events just like lucky blocks and generate naturally in the world just like any other or in the

Vanilla game for those who love the concept and gameplay of lucky blocks perhaps she played the lucky book datapack 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 ORS are the

Mysterious glowing or and also the eerie glowing or which both sound pretty magical that’s one reason why the mod is good because it makes the ores which are added more like magical wars rather than just random blocks which trigger events like lucky blocks do so it makes it more

Realistic in a fantasy kind of way check out the model if you want to have fun and see what’s in store has a surprise for you number seven exp or this mod adds a brand-new ore block called exp or that adds one you simple block to

The game which stores and grants XP were 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 Expedia 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 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 a Minecraft if you do die you will lose your level so just be careful of that lava and mining number six Volken I tour I featured this mod in my video called a minecraft mod let’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 or into the nether dimensions depths called Vulcan height which can be mined with an iron pickaxe or any tier higher such as gold or diamond the properties of this all 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 Vulcan I 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

It will reduce your damage from these sources by over 70% making lover and the never less dangerous when exploring I’m basically meaning you can explore the nether without worrying too much the sword and tools also deal with 15% more damage to fire immune mobs and perhaps

The coolest feature in this mod is that when you my nose with the pickaxe it instantly smelts the or 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 smell them in a furnace later saving your life time number 5 dense ores this mod adds a brand new variation of each and every vanilla in Minecraft by adding new so-called dense versions which will drop around 3 times the amount of the regular or

Version making them far more valuable to find and extending the variation and difference in the types of all you can find the game will generate around 1 to 10 of these blocks per chunk which will replace all the generated but they are slightly more rare to find and

Definitely pay off by granting you far more drops than standard vanilla veins this is a nice little mod to add a little variation to the ores that you find on the ground to make it have more of a payoff to mine for longer periods of time in the game especially when

You’re thinking about finding a dense ores install the game making a full set of diamond armor 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 play a minecraft survival mode number 4 Neverending 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 ores this mod adds brand new ores to the nether but also to the end dimension to the mod is highly

Configurable in terms of smelting recipes for the furnace to mash up the standard villa ores basically adds the standard coal iron gold diamond lapis redstone and course to the other dimensions that they don’t already exist in such as adding all of the standard overworld doors to their never handsome

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 you 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 all it’s a mod which really adds features that should already be in the game number three advanced finders this one is a pretty unique mod which is why I’ve featured it here in this video basically the advanced finders mod adds

Brand new compass items which will help you target and fight nearby ores gems and metals much more easily than without them it displays the direction to nearby ores around the player and detects ores it’s a very low depth as well as making a signal when large or 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 example each which is slightly harder to craft than

The previous tier the mod already supports a pretty large and diverse list of other all mods blue you can also add custom laws from other mods or your own mods by creating conflicts for them in the mod folder most of the best mods are configurable and advanced finders is

Definitely one of them number two large or 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 or veins that you’ll really

Feel like you hit the jackpot if you find diamonds although the concept of this mod is very similar to the dense ores mod it doesn’t just add more dense or compact variants that grant more drops these large or deposits were exactly why says in a mod title they are

Large or deposits just much more larger veins of ores which are added into the game you can configure 8 the whole mod and add support for other moderate odds 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 recessive ores when you’re exploring especially if you run multiple mods of this list at once your minecraft experience will be truly great number one or excavation 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 and gems mods because it’s all about mining in this mod it takes inspiration from other mods out there such as tree capitate err 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 key bind in the options menu which when activated whilst mining will mine every single or block lives connected to each other at one time in simple terms instead of breaking just one block per time your 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 ores 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 can mine all cobblestone or wood or grass at once or alder basically it works for any block in the game which is why you have a black list and white list and Conflict to set up the Mart 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 add some of the standard blocks to the black list so it doesn’t get activated in this mod if you enjoyed the video give it a like if you disagree with the
