Top 10 Ores that Should Be Added to Minecraft
Ores are such a big part of Minecraft's charm, giving you that rush when you hit a vein of something rare. But what if there were even more possibilities out there?This list is all about the ores players think should be added to Minecraft. Maybe you'd love to see something colorful and shiny, or perhaps you're craving a resource that introduces a whole new layer of gameplay. Do you want more options for crafting? Stronger tools? Or just something that looks awesome when it's placed in your builds?
I was born in February too! Personally, I think amethyst looks better than all of the other gemstones. No hard feelings? Good, phew! I thought people might hate me. Anyway, my mom loves the color purple, so yeah. Oh, and you're right, Sky's skin does have an amethyst on it - cool!
Sincerely, Diamondlover18
Yes, amethyst should totally be added because I'm 99% sure there's no purple gem in Minecraft. It wouldn't be very confusing, and it's definitely worth the addition, although I'm not sure what it would be used for. I don't think it would work for armor.
I LOVE PURPLE! Plus, I need better armor. All my armor is either leather dyed purple or diamond armor that has to be enchanted (I struggle when mining for diamonds). If you can make mods with purple armor and ferrets, please do it because I'm too lazy to make mods myself.
I think it would be cool to add renewable energy to Minecraft. Although uranium is dangerous, so it can't be used for armor - you would die. It would have to be used very carefully.
Uranium ore could be a way to kill things! Place a block of uranium, and anything within a few blocks of it would start losing health. Alternatively, you could place it under a water source block to produce heat and steam, which could lead to saunas or more realistic baths.
It could be depleted to become depleted uranium for very strong tools and armor.
I think it would be cool to have rainbows in the sky after it stops raining. A rainbow block is a cool idea but seems kind of out of place in Minecraft. It would be right at home in the Aether mod, though.
That would be the best! It doesn't matter what place it's in - it's all about what you like, right?
This is a rainbow ore. Who wouldn't want that? We could make rainbow blocks, rainbow apples, and a rainbow biome.
Yeah, I'm also born in July, and ruby means contentment. If we get this ore, we should have a new mob that interacts with rubies. I suggest the mob could be similar to villagers and call them "Rangers."
Rangers would defend your house, castle, etc. If you give them rubies (by right-clicking), you can choose their class: an archer-ranger or an assassin-ranger. They're like villagers but focus on defense.
This would look pretty dope. But I know lots of people who are red/green colorblind, so it needs a different design than emeralds.
I like the idea of graphite turning into diamonds if it undergoes enough heat and pressure, but I guess that's too advanced for Minecraft right now. Still, graphite could be used for other things, like being a conductor for redstone. I think that's about it, but I still like the pressure-to-diamond idea.
If you add enough heat and pressure to graphite, it will turn into diamond.
I wasn't born in March, but I love aquamarine ore. It could spawn in coral reefs as a rare ore (basically exclusive to that biome, just like emeralds are to extreme hills). Aquamarine could be used for tools and armor and have the following stats:
Durability: Close to diamond tool durability
Efficiency: As good as iron
Damage: Similar to iron
Rarity: Spawns only in coral reefs, which is already a rare ocean biome.
If I get this aquamarine ore, maybe a cute mermaid will appear!
I have a March birthday, so I would love this.
It would be awesome to add sapphire in the game. You could make another enchantment table with better enchantments than the original one, but sapphire would be rare.
I was born in September, and sapphire represents clear thinking.
This gem is so pretty. I love the way it looks.
I think platinum should be a bit more common than diamonds but found in smaller quantities. It could offer extra enchantment capabilities, such as having a better chance of receiving multiple enchantments or offering its own unique enchantments. Alternatively, you could enchant platinum multiple times.
I agree, Platinum is stronger than iron but less than diamond on armor. It's rarer than diamond, but less rare than emerald.
Yeah, platinum should be a bit more rare than diamonds and better too.
How about silver ore spawns only in the Nether (for a change), and wither skeletons spawn with silver swords? Silver would be less common than Nether quartz, but a little better than gold and more durable too.
The Nether does not have its own ore, so silver would work! Also, I wonder what ore would work even better with the Nether?
Silver could be used to make a currency system with gold, silver, and copper.
The Newcomers
I wonder where it would be located - in the night sky or the void in the End?
I would find this moonstone ore and use a pickaxe. If I collect a lot of moonstone ores, a lot of Clefairy Pokémon could appear.
Yas, this would be awesome! It should be a silver-turquoise-lavender color and stronger than diamond.
This definitely should be better than diamond, no question. Great idea!
Mythril would be WAY better than diamond.
I would love to see YouTube videos of people using this ore and how it would look.
Hey, Notch knows about Sky, so why not? People could stop saying "It's butter, not gold" because it wouldn't be! This would be butter, and people could call it butter, while gold is still gold.
Okay, but how about instead of mining it, we make a butter churn and churn the milk into butter? And if you have enough, you can make a block out of it.
Butter is stronger than diamond in real life, so why not put it in Minecraft? (SkyDoesMinecraft rules!)
This, like uranium, could have an electrical component, making it another useful item.
Opal is beautiful, and I was born in October. The animation for opal would look amazing because it's white with rainbow-like patterns. It should come with armor and weapons. Look up opal online, and you'll see how awesome it could be!
Very awesome! Imagine the armor...
So pretty! Maybe this is too RPG-ish, but you could craft amulets.
Titanium is not as rare as you might guess. It's actually the fourth most abundant metallic element in the Earth, after aluminum, magnesium, and iron. It's just very costly to make.
Have you ever seen zircon? It's a beautiful amber color. I think it would be a great addition to Minecraft. In my opinion, it would be interesting to see what items or tools you could craft with zircon! Oh, this is getting me excited!
A way to make a jewelry table. We already have gold, so a gold chain with this gem on it would be awesome!
Citrine is supposed to bring wealth, so carrying a citrine pendant or something could make more gold and iron appear when you break a block while mining.
That would be so cool, especially if you could find it inside a big clam you had to battle underwater. You could use it to trade with villagers or just as decoration. Cool.
Yes, I love the idea someone posted about having a giant clamshell that you find pearls in!
Imagine... You could make pearl earrings...
I picked this ore because I was born in August, and I really like the light green, the cool texture, the feeling of it, and other cool things about it.
