Fantasy Ores is a Minecraft Bedrock addon by Scodev that brings real-life minerals into the world and turns them into armor with distinct 3D designs. If you are looking for a fantasy ores addon that changes how your gear looks, this is a cosmetic-heavy option with its own tools and weapons. It is Bedrock only and needs no experimental options.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.21 to 1.21.30.
What it adds
Armor crafts exactly like vanilla armor, with the addon's minerals standing in for the usual materials. Spinel and opal each get a shield, and the trident and the spear share the same recipes, swapped to the matching mineral.
- Minerals generate starting from layer -20.
- Aquamarine is the exception and generates in the oceans.
- A diamond drill is the tool that collects every mineral from the addon.
How to install Fantasy Ores
Open the file from CurseForge with Minecraft so it imports, then switch the packs on in your world's settings under Behavior Packs and Resource Packs. The add-on install guide walks through the steps on each device, including a manual folder install on Windows.
Trade-offs
The newest file is Fantasy Ores RP v1.01, published on 2024-09-25, and it covers only the range listed above. Newer Bedrock releases are not confirmed. The page names no source repository and no licence, and it makes no claims about Realms or dedicated servers, so check those yourself before adding it to a shared world.

3 questions
How do I install Fantasy Ores on Bedrock?
Get the file from CurseForge and open it with Minecraft so it imports. Then create or edit a world and activate the addon's packs under Behavior Packs and Resource Packs in the world settings. On Windows you can also place the pack folders in the com.mojang directory by hand.
Does Fantasy Ores need experimental toggles?
No. Scodev states that the addon does not need experimental options, so you can leave them switched off. The same note says this also means it works in preview releases of Bedrock.
Where do the minerals in Fantasy Ores generate?
Minerals generate starting from layer -20. Aquamarine is the exception and generates in the oceans. The diamond drill is the tool used to collect all of the addon's minerals, so craft it before you start mining.
