Reduced Ores is a lightweight Minecraft datapack designed to make survival more demanding by reducing the natural generation rate of every vanilla ore by approximately 50 percent. It affects the Overworld and the Nether, covering standard, deepslate, buried, large, and small ore variants, including coal, iron, diamonds, copper, ancient debris, and more.
Mining becomes less predictable, exploration gains importance, and each discovery feels more valuable. The pack requires no commands and has no noticeable performance impact, making it a practical choice for a challenging Minecraft server. With BoxToPlay, it fits easily into a resource focused survival experience.
