This version lowered the generation probability to about 12% of the original values. This is because the following versions will add various other iron ores to the game like magnetite.
The last part of siderite modification has completed. This version of the game is nearly bug-free, and can be considered as a "stable" version even if it is not the final release. I forgot to generate a jar...
- Tweaked the dropping probabilities and amount. Calculate them (of the deepslate ones) with C(5,r)*0.4r*(1-0.4)5-r, where
ris the amount of items dropped. Replace 0.4 with 0.42 to calculate for normal ones. In this modification, siderite will yield (on average) 1 (deepslate) to 1.05 (normal) iron ingots. - Note: "depack"-ing a pack of powder and then smelt will be 10% faster, but will also gain 10% less experience.
From this version on, version names will use the English name of Greek letters to avoid character obfuscation due to encoding difference.
- Hotfix for β5. Tweaked "Raw Iron Block" to "Siderite Block"
- Added all stuff in β4 to deepslate.
- Added more recipes.
- Raw Iron Block now drops 18 packs of siderite powder
- Iron ore (now called "siderite") now drops at most 12, on average 7.2 siderite powders. 9 siderite powders form a pack of siderite powder. 2 packs of siderite powder and 1 pack of coal powder can craft a "Siderite Powder Mixed with Coal". On smelting this mixture undergo the reaction of 2FeCO₃ + C --heat-> 2Fe + 3CO₂ and forms raw iron. Melt the raw iron again forms iron ingot.
- Known bugs/non-scientific stuff: smelting siderite items will yield Fe₂O₃. It has no texture and no use.
Appendix:
The possibility of each dropping amount of siderite powder of iron ore is in the following table:

| 1 | 0.03020 |
| 2 | 0.24914 |

The possibility of each dropping amount of siderite powder of deepslate iron ore is in the following table:

- Iron shovel and hoe now rusts at the same speed as iron pickaxe.
- Iron axe now rusts. Ticks are (in ticks): 48000, 45000, 42000, 36000, 32000.
- Tweaked the rusting time of unrusted iron pickaxe from 42000 to 44000 ticks.
- Updated README.md to make it look a little better.
First notable milestone! Changes:
- Iron pickaxe now rusts. It has six steps: unrusted, slightly rusted, mildly rusted, moderately rusted, heavily rusted and completely rusted. The first 5 steps needs following time before entering the next step (in ticks): 42000, 40000, 36000, 32000, 24000.
- Added triirontetraoxide ingot and dust. 1 ingot <-> 9 dusts; 8 dusts round + 1 iron ingot in the middle -> 1 netherite scrap; 1 netherite ingot -> 1 triirontetraoxide ingot. Currently doesn't have any usefulness.
- Also has triitontetraoxide sword but can only be obtained by command or creative mode; triitontetraoxide tools doesn't have a texture for now and cannot be obtained in survival mode.
- Currently has English and Chinese translation.
