Welcome to the TW`s Ore Dredging!

This mod aims to enrich your mining experience in multiple ways, adding more surprises and possibilities to every dig!

Cimelia

In this mod, when breaking various rocks, in addition to dropping vanilla ores, there is a chance to drop even more precious and exciting treasures. We call them Cimelia.

Each cimelia has one or more unique and powerful functions, and we will continue to update with more interesting content!

Crushed Block

The mod adds reasonable and abundant drops to rocks, hiding mysterious relics within!

Currently, all rocks and ores in the Overworld will drop various ores and treasures according to their own characteristics.

📋 Drop Mechanics

Each time you mine a rock, you have a 25% chance to shatter it. When shattered, you will obtain:

  • Rock Pile
  • Possible ores

💡 Below is the drop table for all rocks and ores (coming soon).

Geological Hammer

The Geological Hammer is a specialized pickaxe that excels at breaking rocks. When used to mine any block that supports the crushing mechanic, it guarantees a 100% chance to shatter the block (instead of the usual 25%).

Upon shattering, the hammer also enhances your chances of obtaining extra drops — including ores and Cimelia. The base probability for extra drops is multiplied by 0.31 in the loot calculation, which, combined with the guaranteed shatter, results in an effective 1.25× increase in the average yield per block compared to using a normal tool.

⚒️ Tip: The Geological Hammer is crafted like a standard pickaxe but with unique materials (see recipe in-game). It also inherits all pickaxe abilities, making it a reliable companion for any mining expedition.

Collapse Stone Hammer

The Collapse Stone Hammer is a powerful tool that requires charging before it can break a block. To use it, simply right-click and hold while aiming at a target block. Energy accumulates over time, and once the stored energy matches the block’s hardness, the block is instantly destroyed — along with a spectacular burst of particles and sounds.

Like the Geological Hammer, it guarantees 100% shatter on any crushable block and boosts extra‑drop probabilities even further. Its internal multiplier of 0.38 yields an effective 1.5× increase in average extra‑drop yield over normal tools.

🔨 Unique Mechanics

  • Charged Destruction: Hold right‑click to build up energy. The block’s breaking progress is displayed visually, and each hit produces block particles and a custom hammer sound.
  • Precision Aim: The hammer can target blocks up to 7 blocks away, allowing you to break distant or hard‑to‑reach rocks.
  • Durability Cost: Only consumes 1 durability per successful break.
  • Cooldown: After each use, the hammer has a short cooldown (10 ticks) before it can be used again.

The Collapse Stone Hammer is perfect for miners who want both efficiency and a satisfying, charged mining experience.

Gravel Piles

Rock Piles are the main product after rocks are shattered in this mod. They come in five different block models, adding variety and making them suitable for decoration.

🧱 Crafting and Uses

  • Except for Sandstone Rock Piles, all other rock piles can be used to craft corresponding stone bricks, or be broken down into four corresponding pebbles.
  • Rock piles and pebbles also generate naturally in the world, decorating your environment.

Most rocks will yield corresponding pebbles. They can be used not only for building decoration but also:

  • As a substitute for flint in crafting arrows.
  • As projectiles to deal damage to enemies.
  • Each type of pebble has different characteristics: some fly faster, some deal more damage, some have a shorter attack cooldown—wait for you to discover!

💥 The projectile damage of pebbles is affected by the Strength effect: each level of Strength increases the damage by 1 point. They will be your trusty companion in the early stages of mining!

Miner Bundle

To handle the large number of drops, this mod adds three tiers of Mineral Pouches, which are extremely practical!

🎒 Crafting and Upgrade Path

  1. Leather Mineral Pouch

    • Crafting materials: Leather + String
    • Capacity: 4 stacks of items
    • Mechanics same as vanilla bundle

  2. Chain Mineral Pouch

    • Upgrade materials: Rabbit Hide + Chain
    • Capacity: Increases by an additional 4 stacks

  3. Phantom Mineral Pouch

    • Upgrade materials: Phantom Membrane + Slimeball
    • Capacity: Increases by another 4 stacks

Three incredibly useful enchantments for miner bundle:

  • Convergence (Level I): Automatically compresses mineral nuggets in the pouch into corresponding raw ores or ingots.
  • Auto Picking (Level I): When you pick up mineral items from the ground, they are automatically stored into the pouch.
  • Expansion (Levels I–III): Each level increases the pouch's capacity by 0.5 times, and the effect stacks!
