Ore Regeneration -> Bedrock Replace (or not)

Ore Respawn makes mining sustainable. When you break an ore, it regenerates after a configurable delay so caves and veins stay useful over long play sessions.

Features

• Respawns any block tagged as an ore (c:ores / NeoForge ore tags)
• Configurable respawn delay (default: 5 minutes)
• Optional bedrock placeholder while waiting — marks the spot and blocks re-mining until the ore returns
• Instant mode: set the delay to 0 and ores regenerate immediately
• Survives world reloads — pending respawns are saved and resume correctly
• You still get the normal ore drops

Configuration

Edit the common config (orerespawn-common.toml) or use the in-game config screen:

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• NeoForge

How it works

Mine an ore as usual. After the break, the mod either restores the ore right away (instant mode) or places a placeholder and schedules the original block to return. Pending respawns are stored with the world, so they continue after a restart.

Great for SMP servers, skyblock-style worlds, or any playthrough where you want renewable resources without changing recipes or worldgen.
