I highly recommend playing with the Just Enough Items mod.
Welcome to my little project! This isn't meant to be a serious mod, I'm just trying out MCreator for the first time! This mod adds two new ores, Melstone and Omega Ore. Melstone is a melee based ore, being much better than netherite ever could be. Omega Ore has a crystal that is useful for two things, the Omega Shot and the Omega Lighter. The Omega Shot is just an overpowered bow. The Omega Lighter, however, is necessary for building a portal to The Omegal. The portal is literally just a Nether portal with Melstone instead of obsidian (you DO need silk touch) and it's lit with the Omega Lighter. Once there, You'll see some new grass and Omega Ore underground EVERYWHERE. Be careful, however, you will also be fighting Omegans, and lots of them. Do not engage unless you have full Melstonian Armor and a sword/axe. That's all as of right now, thanks for playing!
Oh, by the way, Melstone is found in the Nether at 24 and below, and the Main Omegal biome can be found in the Overworld if you don't feel like going to the nether.
PS. If you know how MCreator works, I need help with the Omegan's AI. I just can't figure it out right now. I'm Melly#7214 on Discord, hmu if you think you can fix him.
