💎 Expansive Ores V2.6 – Minecraft Bedrock
Ores, gear, mobs, bosses, guide book, configurable progression and multiplayer-friendly systems.
Expansive Ores is a large survival expansion for Minecraft Bedrock. It adds ores, materials, tools, armor, shields, tridents, bows, rings, totems, custom tables, utility items, creatures, bosses and progression systems while remaining compatible with other addons.
📦 Installation Guide
The Expansive Ores BP and Expansive Ores RP files are required for the addon to function correctly.
The Expansive Ores UI Table file is optional. It adds custom interfaces for the tables included in the addon.
🆕 Expansive Ores V2.6
V2.6 modernizes the addon for current Minecraft Bedrock versions and makes its large progression system easier to understand. It adds an in-game guide, ore discovery messages, personal and world settings, Perfect Shot combat, safer drills, improved shields, ring attunement and clearer translated item lore.
- Added the Expansive Ores Guide, given automatically when a player joins.
- Added personal settings for discovery messages, hammer preview and Perfect Shot feedback.
- Added operator-controlled world settings for mobs, bonuses, shields and 3×3 mining.
- Added Perfect Shot support for bows and tridents.
- Improved custom shields, drills and vanilla enchantment compatibility.
- Added ring linking and optional Novelty API accessory-slot support.
📘 In-game guide
The new guide explains ores, progression, equipment powers, materials, hammers, drills, rings, totems, armor bonuses, creatures, bosses and settings. Every player receives it once; if it is lost, craft another with one Book and one Topaz.
⚙️ Personal and world settings
Personal settings affect only the current player. World settings require the owner or an operator and apply to everyone, which makes the addon easier to configure for Realms and multiplayer servers.
🪨 Ores and progression
The suggested material path is Topaz / Rhodium → Onyx / Platinum → Jade → Ruby / Sapphire → Fluorite → Uranium → Amber. Salt supports food content, while Prismarine Ore contributes to prismarine-related progression.
🛡️ Armor set bonuses
When set bonuses are enabled, wearing all four pieces activates the material effect.
| Material | Full set bonus |
|---|---|
| Topaz | Haste I + Luck I |
| Rhodium | Resistance I |
| Onyx | Night Vision + Resistance I |
| Platinum | Haste I + Speed I |
| Jade | Jump Boost II + Speed I |
| Ruby | Strength I + Fire Resistance |
| Sapphire | Water Breathing + Speed I |
| Fluorite | Fire Resistance + Resistance I |
| Uranium | Haste II + Night Vision |
| Amber | Regeneration I + Health Boost I |
🔨 Hammers and drills
Hammers mine a 3×3 area; sneak to mine normally in 1×1. Players can disable the preview, while operators can disable 3×3 mining globally. Drills retain their individual mining tiers and now refuse to break Bedrock.
🏹 Perfect Shot, bows and tridents
The charge HUD can show Charging, Ready, Perfect Shot and Full Draw. Releasing inside the Perfect Shot window can add +2 damage when enabled. Custom bows support Power, Punch, Flame and Infinity; custom tridents support Impaling, Channeling, Loyalty and Riptide.
🛡️ Improved custom shields
Custom shields block frontal damage while sneaking, work from the appropriate hand, and consume durability only after a successful block. Operators can disable shield blocking from world settings.
💍 Rings, linking and Novelty API
Rings work from the offhand. When ring linking is enabled, a player can attune a ring and keep its bonus without occupying that slot. Optional Novelty API support also lets compatible rings and totems use accessory slots.
- Ruby: Strength II
- Sapphire: Speed II
- Jade: Jump Boost II
- Onyx: Night Vision
- Fluorite: Fire Resistance
- Amber: Regeneration I
🧟 Creatures and bosses
Blocklings can be tamed, named, equipped and set to follow, sit, wander, guard or passive modes. Gem Zombie, Skeleton, Husk, Pigman and Wither Skeleton variants drop related materials. Monster Ore and EnderCyan add stronger cave and late-game encounters.
🧾 Clearer item information
Translated lore now explains item categories, tool functions, food values, potion effects, armor bonuses, rings, totems, Perfect Shot and drill warnings directly in the inventory.
