Crude ore
Iron, copper and gold ores have been remade and now raw metals are falling out of them. Raw metals can be melted in a furnace.
- Blocks of unprocessed metals have been added: unprocessed copper, unprocessed iron and unprocessed gold
- Now, instead of blocks, raw metals fall out of the ores, which can be melted in the furnace, as before
- Ore blocks will still be able to be melted down and this means that you will still be able to melt ore from the old worlds
