Explain why Mojang made these I dare you

The new way actually makes more sense since you can fortune the ores now, and you need silk touch for the actual block.

Probably because so the plain stone ore and the deepslate ores don't take up as much inventory space?

You would be able to use Fortune thought.

(there are iron/gold farms but whatever).

R u dumb those ores used to be different then coal and diamond now they are the same

Um I think u need to read to the imgflip policy again...

i couldn't find the images for the new ores
