Simple Ender Ore is a small, vanilla-friendly QoL mod that adds a new way to obtain Ender Pearls while keeping the vanilla progression and balance intact.
Ender Ore can be found naturally in all three dimensions: the Overworld, the Nether, and the End. Its generation is designed to fit into the vanilla world without making Ender Pearls overly common.
Mining Ender Ore drops Ender Nuggets. These Nuggets can be crafted together to create Ender Pearls, giving you a more reliable way to obtain them without changing how they are used.
Ender Ore has a small mechanic that makes mining it with poor equipment a little more challenging.
When mined with a low-tier pickaxe, or without a proper pickaxe, the ore has a chance to teleport to a nearby block of the same stone type. The better the pickaxe, the lower the chance of the ore teleporting.
This makes using a proper pickaxe worthwhile while keeping the mechanic simple and unobtrusive.
Simple Ender Ore is designed to feel like it could be part of vanilla Minecraft. It focuses on quality of life rather than adding complicated mechanics or changing the game's progression.
Simple Ender Ore keeps things simple: a small addition that makes getting Ender Pearls a little more convenient without changing the way Minecraft feels.
