Massive Ore Update – Realistic Ores Expansion

Upgrade Minecraft’s mining with 7 new real-world inspired ores, each with unique properties, Y-levels, and spawn chances:

Copper Sulfide (Common – 4.2%, Y 30–64)
Smelts into Refined Copper for faster redstone signals and XP gain in circuits.
Bauxite (Uncommon – 2.8%, Y 40–80, Stony Peaks)
Yields Aluminum—used for lightweight armor with high knockback resistance and Foil Blocks for blast reduction.
Zinc (Rare – 1.7%, Y -32–16)
Combine with Copper for Brass Tools—durable, rust-proof, perfect for builders.
Salt (Common – 3.6%, Y 20–50, near water)
Craft Salt Blocks (repels mobs) or season food for extra saturation. Cows may drop Salted Leather.
Uranium (Very Rare – 0.4%, Y -64 to -32, glows faintly)
Needs Lead Casing. Powers Nuclear Furnaces and Redstone Reactors—fast smelting and power, but dangerous if unshielded.
Titanium (Ultra Rare – 0.2%, Y -60–0, in Endstone)
Stronger than Netherite, lighter too. Tools are nearly indestructible but enchant slowly.
Celestite (Uncommon – 2.4%, Y 40–70, Geodes in Badlands & Lush Caves)
Crystals power Celestial Lamps (blue ambient light) and Aura Beacons—temporary regen & mob calming effects.

this could be fun, but maybe it could be toggleable because this might be hard to explain to new players.

You know you don't get anything for suggesting Minecraft features, right? Why would you AI generate a new Minecraft update?
