Optional: Details
Will StoneZone ever support modded stone variant ores, or would that be broken out into a separate mod (if anything like that is even planned)? AlmostUnified handles the resources once mined, and StoneZone handles all the building variants for regular rocks, but I can’t find anything for the in-between.
Spelunkery does this with a very limited scope, but its limited modded ores support seems to be pretty hardcoded. Adding ores is in the roadmap for What Is Stone?, but there’s no saying when or how well that will be executed.
The answer to your question Will StoneZone ever support modded stone variant ores
would be "no". I hope below will explain why.
StoneZone's purpose is simply to support Furniture mods with any StoneTypes from a mod.
if StoneZone could support ores with StoneTypes like Strata. Then there is the world generation that is not being modified to include them. That would be a lot of works to support the generated ores.
What is stone colorful caves is a Stone mod which add variant blocks (stairs, slab, bricks). StoneZone could support it with other mods like Macaw's, Twigs, or Create.
All right, good to know, thank you! I guess I’ll just have to keep an eye on Spelunkery and What Is Stone/Colorful Caves changelogs for when they add additional ore support
really? which ones are those? I've tried to find one, but all the Curse results are "oh I added a new ore it's just like iron except it's PINK" which makes finding the actual ore api's so much harder
there alre already mods that do that.
That's what I thought at first. Wasn't sure. Good to know.
