An Ore is a type of block naturally found in Minecraft. Ores are primarily collected for crafting purposes, to make items such as tools, armor, and more. Redstone from its ore is used as a type of wiring which can be used to create redstone circuits, compasses, clocks, and other items. Coal from its ore can be used to smelt other ores, such as gold and iron for storage purposes or building. Since layer 0 is the lowest and consists of only bedrock, no ore can be found there. It can, however, be spawned very close to the bottom of the chunk at layer 1.
An ore block looks like a usual stone block with different colored shards or gems embedded into it.
Coal Ore
Coal Ore is a very common ore that can generate in the form of mineral veins, of size 1 to 17, from y levels 0 to 127 in all biomes. This ore is most commonly found in caves. Coal is mined from coal ore and can be used as furnace fuel, or crafted with a stick to create torches. Coal ore can be successfully mined using any type of pickaxe.
Iron Ore
Iron Ore is most commonly found underground in veins of size 1 to 14, from y levels 0 to 63. It can be smelted into iron ingots, which can be used to craft many useful items, including armor, weapons, tools, and minecarts, as well as their rails. Iron Ore can be mined using a stone or better pickaxe.
Redstone Ore
Redstone Ore is a type of ore found at and below y level 16, in veins up to 8. Added in the third Seecret Friday update, Redstone ore is more common than coal if at the correct layer. Redstone ore must be mined with an iron or better pickaxe. When destroyed, several piles of redstone will appear, a property unique to redstone and lapis lazuli. Redstone dust is currently used in the construction of various traps, mechanisms, and contraptions dependent on simple circuits. After 1.9 pre-release 3, Redstone dust can also be used for brewing. If there is a block or entity update adjacent to a Redstone ore block, it will transform into a technical block called glowing redstone ore, which emits a light level of 9 and some particle effects, similar to that of a Nether Portal, only red, and will emit a redstone signal.
Nether Quartz Ore
Nether Quartz is an ore found in the Nether (at y<126), in veins of up to 14 blocks each, appearing in the 13w01a snapshot for the 1.5 update. It is very common and can be found just about anywhere in the Nether. Nether quartz is used in making the redstone comparator and blocks of quartz (and its variations).
Ancient Debris
Ancient Debris is an ore added in 1.16, appearing in snapshot 20w06a. It's an extremely rare ore found when there is no exposure to air, it can appear anywhere in a chunk but it appears most commonly under y 15. Smelting this ore will give you netherite scrap.
Nether Gold Ore
Nether Gold Ore is a variant of Gold Ore that was added in the 1.16 update, and is found only in the Nether, and will drop 2 to 6 Gold Nuggets when mined.
An Ore Vein is a naturally generated structure found underground that is almost always encased in stone blocks. Ore veins look like block structures with bulbous bits randomly coming out along it. Sometimes they can be just cube-shaped, but some of them look extremely odd.
•Smelting ores without a pickaxe with Silk Touch will always yield ingots or only 1 output of that ore.
•Gold is the only pickaxe type that can't mine its ore.
