Unify All [Deprecated]
Few things frustrate modpack builders more than opening a pack and finding four different versions of tin, three types of lead, and a copper ore that refuses to stack with anything else. Unify All [Deprecated] was created to address exactly that problem. It is an ore dictionary mod and utility designed to put an end to the multiple ores issue that plagues so many modpacks.
It is worth stating upfront that this is not a gameplay mod in the traditional sense. It does nothing on its own beyond adding blocks, items, alloys, and the correct Forge tags for those things. Its purpose is to serve mod developers and modpack creators who want a consistent base layer to build from.
What Unify All [Deprecated] Actually Does
The core idea is simple: provide a shared foundation of ores and materials that other mods can reference through Forge tags. Almost every modded Minecraft modpack runs into the caveat that each mod ships its own ores. Tin, lead, and aluminium overlap constantly, forcing pack developers to disable certain modded ores by hand just to keep things tidy.
Unify All [Deprecated] tackles this partially by adding a base layer that mods can build from using Forge tags. This prevents additional modded ores from being created and overlapping in the first place. Importantly, the mod does not disable or modify other mods' world generation or ore generation. It is a modder's utility and modpack creator tool, not an automatic cleanup script.
Materials Included
The mod ships with a broad catalog of metals, non-metals, and alloys, each added with care to maximize compatibility with the widest range of mods.
- Metals: Aluminium, Nickel, Copper, Osmium, Tungsten, Tin, Lead, Zinc, Silver, Platinum
- Non-metals: Bitumen, Aquamarine, Ruby, Sapphire
- Alloys: Brass, Bronze, Cast Iron, Electrum, Gunmetal, Invar, Rose Gold, Steel, Sterling Silver, White Gold
These new alloys give developers additional building blocks to design mods around, which is a significant part of the mod's long-term value.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Unify All [Deprecated] was built for the Forge loader, and it targets the older 1.12.2 era of Minecraft where ore dictionary conflicts were at their worst. If you are running a modern pack on a newer loader, you will want to check whether an alternative solution exists for your version before committing. The mod was also designed to be fully compatible with Matter Of Form, its predecessor project.
For players who simply want to install it without wrestling with manual file placement, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install path that pulls Unify All [Deprecated] straight into a compatible profile, so you skip the usual folder hunting entirely.
How to Install
If you are setting this up manually, the process is straightforward.
- Install a compatible version of Minecraft Forge for your chosen game version.
- Place the mod file into your mods folder.
- Launch the game once to generate configuration files.
- Open the config and disable duplicate ores from other mods manually.
That last step is essential. This mod will not disable every other ore duplicate for you. You will need to handle those through config, which is why it is best suited to experienced pack builders rather than casual players.
Who Should Use It
If you are a mod developer, the recommended approach is to leave your ores in your mod and only disable them when Unify All [Deprecated] is detected. This way you do not have to wait for this mod to update to a new version of the game before your own project works correctly. Any mod that uses Forge tags should be compatible with it out of the box.
If you are a modpack creator tired of explaining to players why their copper will not stack, this mod gives you a clean, tag-driven answer. Just remember that it is a foundation, not a magic wand.
Final Thoughts
Unify All [Deprecated] solves a real, persistent headache in modded Minecraft. It will not fix every duplicate ore automatically, and it will not manage world generation for you, but it provides the shared ore dictionary layer that pack developers have needed for years. For anyone planning to download Unify All [Deprecated] for Minecraft, the key takeaway is simple: use it as a base, configure it carefully, and let Forge tags do the heavy lifting.
