Create: Simple Ore Doubling – Maximize Your Minecraft Ore Yields
Minecraft’s Create mod already revolutionizes automation with its mechanical contraptions, but ore processing can sometimes feel a little stingy. In vanilla Create, doubling gold or iron reliably demands a deepslate raw ore block fed into crushing wheels—a setup that’s not always practical early on. Other ores often cap at a 1.75x average return, leaving you wishing for a more straightforward path to abundance. That’s where the lightweight add-on Create: Simple Ore Doubling steps in, offering clean, guaranteed multiplication recipes that integrate seamlessly into your factory lines.
How the Mod Transforms Ore Processing
The core idea is beautifully simple: pair raw ore with a mechanical press and some heat, and you’ll squeeze out extra crushed ore every time. No more gambling with probability-based outputs for common metals. The mod introduces two primary tiers of doubling, a special Netherite recipe, and a byproduct called Slag that can be washed for bonus materials. All of this uses familiar Create mechanics, so you won’t need to learn a new tech tree.
Double Output – The Reliable Workhorse
For a guaranteed double yield, drop any raw ore into a mechanical press along with 50mb of lava. The press crushes it into two crushed ores, ready for smelting. There’s also a 5% chance of producing Slag as a side product. This recipe works for every raw ore, making it a universal early-to-mid-game solution that beats the standard crushing wheel setup for accessibility.
Triple Output – Heating Things Up
When you’re ready to push efficiency further, upgrade to a heated mechanical press. Applying the same raw ore but with a blaze burner providing heat, you’ll get three crushed ores per cycle—a solid 3x multiplication. The Slag chance jumps to 15%, giving you even more opportunities for extra loot. This tier fits perfectly into mid-game factories where blaze burners are already part of your power network.
Netherite Doubling – Double the Rarity
Netherite is notoriously expensive, but this mod offers a way to stretch your ancient debris further. Combine four Netherite scraps and four gold ingots inside a superheated mechanical press, and you’ll craft two Netherite ingots instead of the usual one. There’s also a 25% chance to produce Slag, which can later be washed for nuggets. It’s a fantastic incentive to build a dedicated Netherite processing line.
Slag – Turning Waste into Wealth
Slag is the mod’s recurring byproduct, appearing across all ore processing recipes. Rather than junk, it’s a resource waiting to be cleaned. Washing Slag gives you a 7% chance to recover any ore nugget and a 35% chance to produce an Experience Nugget. This small loop adds a rewarding layer of resource recovery, encouraging you to set up washing stations alongside your presses. Over time, those nuggets add up, especially when processing bulk ores.
Compatibility and Dependencies
The mod keeps things lightweight. Only the base Create mod is required—no extra libraries or obscure dependencies. It’s also designed to play nicely with several popular add-ons. If you run Create: Ironworks, Create: Crafts & Additions, or Create: Molten Metals (for 1.20.1), you’ll find the recipes integrate without conflicts. JEI is recommended to view recipes in-game, but it’s not mandatory.
Installation Made Easy
Getting started is as simple as dropping the .jar file into your mods folder. For those who prefer a more streamlined approach, you can also find the mod on CurseForge or Modrinth and add it to your modpack with a single click. Many players appreciate how this mod can be easily installed via the foxygame.net launcher — a convenient, flexible, and modern Minecraft launcher where you can download mods right from the menu. Once installed, the new recipes appear automatically in JEI, and you can begin designing your ore processing line immediately.
Permissions and Community
The author encourages modpack inclusion, whether public or private. You’re free to bundle it in your custom packs, and support is always welcome through the creator’s CurseForge, Modrinth, or PayPal channels. This open attitude helps the mod spread and evolve alongside the Create ecosystem.
Why You Should Try It
Create: Simple Ore Doubling fills a niche that many automation fans have wanted: deterministic, scalable ore multiplication without complex probability chains. The recipes are intuitive, the Slag washing loop adds a touch of resource management, and the Netherite doubling is a game-changer for late-game gearing. Whether you’re building a compact starter factory or a sprawling industrial complex, this mod slots right in and rewards your engineering with more ingots per ore. Give it a spin and watch your storage rooms overflow.
