Larger Ore Veins: Deluxe

Join our discord to report bugs and make suggestions.

The Larger Ore Veins: Deluxe combines the Classic, Diamond, and Nether editions into a single data pack. It also changes the generation of Lapis and Redstone Ores to match the generation style of the other ores.

Notice

This is a world generation data pack. World generation data packs work best when added to your world during the world creation phase. You can still add them to your world after generating it, you just need to generate new chunks to see the effects.

Modifying this pack

If you want to configure the ore generation to your liking, make sure you download the data pack version of this project.

To modify the size of the ores, go to data/minecraft/worldgen/configured_feature and change the size value in the desired JSON files (The maximum size is 64).

To modify the rarity of the ores, go to data/minecraft/worldgen/placed_feature and edit the count field in the desired JSON files, this number represents the number of generation attempts per chunk. Some files use a weighted count system, with multiple data values being assigned a weight. Higher weights increase the chance of the associated data value (or data) to be selected to be the count. With the weight system, there is a weight/total_weight chance of a particular value to be selected for the count.

Example:

"count": {
    "type": "minecraft:weighted_list",
    "distribution": [
        {
            "weight": 70,
            "data": 0
        },
        {
            "weight": 30,
            "data": 1
        }
    ]
}

In this example, there is a total weight of 100. 70 "points" are associated with "data":0 and 30 "points" being associated with "data":1. So there is a 70% chance of count being 0 and a 30% chance of count being 1. In other words, each chunk has 30% chance to attempt generating an ore blob once and a 70% chance of not attempting.
