I want to add more ores into my mod. Since my mod focuses on realism, don't give a fictional ore with fictional use. You can't have Lithium Swords, Lithium is too soft in real life.
I want realistic unique uses other than just making tools and armor.
I will show a list of the ores I've added, you can add uses to these ores or you could suggest an ore with realistic usage.
Here are the ores that I've added so far:
1. Copper Ore
2. Tin Ore
3. Sulphur Ore
4. Niter Ore (Saltpeter)
5. Lead Ore
6. Silver Ore
7. Tungsten Ore
8. Zinc Ore
9. Salt "Ore"
You can either suggest more uses for existing ores or suggest a new real ore with real uses that mirror real life.

Obsidian
when worn it will give slowness
also you will need to make it a smaller obsidian to be craft able
Bump.
Just think of something that sounds science-y and add "ite" or "ium" to the end of the name, or take some inspiration from the Periodic Table of the Elements. Stuff like Cobalt ore and Uranium ore has been done millions of times, so something like Thorium or Scandium ore would be pretty cool.
I'll look up what are the uses of the elements you mentioned, thanks! :)
Copper can be used to make wire (but it's pointless if your mod doesn't have any kind of electricity), or can be mixed with tin to create bronze (like what other mods did). Some more alloys like Brass (Zinc + Copper), Electrum (Silver + Gold),... which also appear in most tech mods. Sulfur and saltpeter can be mixed with coal dust (or simply coal) to make gunpowder. Salt can be used for food or for electrolysis. Tungsten... idk, maybe incandescent light bulb? or tungsten steel? I have many other ideas but I think they are way too complicated. I got most of ideas from a mod called Gregtech.
If you're doing a 1.18.2 mod, use Vanilla copper to make things for your mod.
Forgot to mention that I have switched to 1.18.2, so now I'm using the vanilla minecraft's copper.

I already have Tin, bronze, Electrum, saltpeter gunpowder recipe, and lightbulbs. I don't know what are the uses of brass.
I was asking for new ores with uses. Most of the stuff you said I have already added.
Well, there's electricity but it's not done yet and filled with bugs.
Rutile is an ore that can be processed into titanium that is used in advanced Machinery
Aluminium, surprised not alot of mods have this, you use it to make aluminium foil, and aluminium can, the foil is for storing food, and if you eat cooked food from it, it gives one more and the aluminium foil remains, and the same for aluminium can but you are gonna have to add soft drinks :/. Basecally makes food better.
