Modded ore variants

[Alan19]

We should have variants for modded ores like how Rockhouding has its variants for iron and coal. They can have different amounts of output for the ore they are based on and different secondary outputs.

Alright. Lets start with Tin. I do not want to add all of these, but I'm interested to know which ones you guys find most interesting.

Tin Ores

• Abhurite: a tin ore that is almost entirely tin. Usually found near salt water, and thus should be most common in oceans. Found alongside cassiterite and romarchite. It is brown in color.
• Romarchite: this is a simple tin oxide. It is found literally everywhere, and is very similar to cassiterite. It is gray in color.
• Hemusite: a rare copper tin sulfide mineral. It has been found all over, but was originally found in Bulgaria.
• Canfeldite: a rare silver/tin ore. It contains sulfur. IRL, it is found in Bolivia.
• Cylindrite: a lead/tin/iron ore. It also contains sulfur. Like Canfeldite, it is found in Bolivia.
• Ferronigerite: a zinc/tin/iron/aluminum ore. The name comes from the fact that this ore is found in Nigeria. It is often found in quartz veins.
• Franckeite: a lead/tin/antimony sulfurous ore that is related to Cylindrite. Found in Bolivia. Almost black in color.
• Genplesite: a very rare tin ore found in Russia. Often found with nickel and platinum. This is a sulfate ore.
• Kesterite: a sulfide ore that contains copper, tin, zinc, and iron. Found in Russia. It is common enough to earn an abbreviation. Found alongside sphalerite.
• Malayaite: a calcium tin silicate mineral that is found alongside titanium. Named for where it was found: Malaysia.
• Mohite: A copper tin sulfide. It is greenish-gray. Found in Uzbekistan.
• Pabstite: A barium tin titanium silicate mineral. Found in limestone. Found in California.
• Stannite: A copper tin iron sulfide. Zinc is sometimes present. It usually contains equal parts copper and tin. This ore is found in England.
• Teallite: A lead tin sulfide. It is found in Bolivia.
• Tusionite: A translucent manganese tin borate mineral. It has been found in California, Tajikistan, and the Czech Republic.

Malayaite sounds good for more titanium, and pabstite for getting limestone.

Canfeldite sounds good for getting a bit of silver from tin and cylindrite can be a good alternative source for copper.

Ferronigerite sounds good for just getting a variety of ores. Maybe we can have it process into all four of the metals you mentioned but not have a 100% output on any of the metals while addding the Thaumcraft quarts ore in the vein?

In general, I'm a big fan of the ores that contain multiple metals and have a different stone type that allows for obtaining more decorative blocks. It looks like a good amount of tin ores also contain titanium, so maybe we want to have one or two tin ores that would give titanium when grinded?

How many variants do we want per ore?

No more than 5. I'd also like to make at least one nether ore variant. Possibly 2.
