5 new Minecraft ores we want in the future

Minecraft ores are one of the most important aspects of the game since you can mine them to get precious metals and resources. In fact, the sandbox offers a host of ores that can be refined for resources like iron, copper, lapis lazuli, and others. However, players are always on the lookout for more and believe that the addition of a few more ores can expand the gameplay and open up room for a host of new possibilities.

That said, these are five new Minecraft ores that Mojang should add in the future.

5 new Minecraft ores that should be added in the future

​

1) Lithium Ore

Lithium will be a great addition to the list of Minecraft ores since players will be able to refine it to power batteries or other electrical equipment. It can be easily implemented alongside the already existing Redstone mechanic and might help players create complex machines inside the game.

The lithium ore can be a great way to introduce battery-operated machines and can be mined from abandoned mine shafts or mountain tunnels.

2) Titanium Ore

The titanium ore could essentially bridge the gap between diamond and Netherite, making the transition feel seamless. Titanium is known as one of the hardest elements so this could also be used to craft special instruments and tools in the game.

Titanium is usually found in the earth's crust so this ore could be located deep underground near lava rivers.

3) Cobalt Ore

Cobalt could be a great addition to expanding the list of Minecraft ores. It is known for its brilliant blue color and can be used in the production of industrial items like catalysts, magnets, and pigments.

The element can be used to introduce catalysts, which will boost the production rates or efficiency of furnaces. Players can also refine it to produce a new shade of dye. However, considering its rarity, Cobalt should only be made available in deep deposits near the bedrock level.

4) Silver ore

Silver is one of the most widely used elements in the world and the wide variety of applications makes it a great addition to the list of ores the game needs. In Minecraft, silver can be introduced and used to craft items like mirrors, and solar panels, as well as other electronic components, which can then be powered using lithium.

Silver should be made available from underground deposits and also from refining other existing ores — making it easily available for both newcomers and veterans alike.

5) Uranium ore

Uranium ore could be one of the most useful additions to the list of new Minecraft ores. Not only can this element introduce nuclear power to the game, but it can also be used to craft reactors that can power large furnaces and other such machines.

Additionally, after being used, the depleted uranium can be used to craft weapons and shields — making it a valuable addition to the game. Uranium is usually found in rocks and deep deposits so it can be refined as well.
