A rust-must have!
Why rust? Because this mod renames generic stones, e.g. 'stone' to 'mica' or 'stone' to 'phylite', or even stained stones to 'rusty (stone)', so trying to stare into your screen at every angle to make sure the stone is slightly red to find lode is no longer a thing!
Not only that, but the generic deep stones are also retextured so they're not just the boring old gray but darker. An example is the mica stone, the first deep stone, obtaining a nice, bluish color.
And of course, the best of all, the mod says it in the name - it spawns strata in the terrain, e.g. of concrete materials, such as cloudstone or tarstone (which are also renamed). This way, the ordinary cliffs and caves don't become so ordinary anymore, as they get a more diverse range of colors than just 'gray'. However, they're also practically useful, as obtaining e.g. crude glass or sandstone bricks becomes easier (but may not be good if you want the game to keep being hard in this aspect). Don't worry though, as there are also several more types of strata, such as softer stone layers in very deep and hard caves.
You can view them all in the settings too, which of course also allows you to disable certain options. On example, if you prefer only the renaming and retexturing of materials or only the strata generation of the mod, you can have that. Unfortunetly though, there are some issues with it, such as not being able to toggle specific materials or have the renaming but no retexturing.
Still, I recommend this mod for every world.
In conclusion, I recommend this mod, as it makes generic stone and terrain way more interesting by renaming and retexturing generic stones, and making strata, such as building materials like sandstone, appear in terrain.
