Fun Ores Mod 1.8, 1.7.10, 1.7.2 add metal ores that will be needed by other mods eventually, so that these ores will already be in your world when you add a mod that needs them! No need to hunt for new chunks. Every ore is highly configurable and can be disabled individually.

The current metal ores are: copper, tin, silver, lead, nickel, platinum, aluminium, and zinc.
