This datapack changes ore generation to improve the progression in minecraft. Better ores now generate deeper than before and all ores have their specific biome where they generate more abundantly.
\n– Coal : swamp, mangrove swamp
\n– Copper : savanna, dripstone caves
\n– Iron : taiga and old growth taiga
\n– Diamond : ice spikes
\n– Lapis : desert
\n– Gold : mesa and badlands
\n– Redstone : jungle
\n– Emeralds : forest, birch forest, dark forest, pale garden, lush caves<\/p>\n

I recommend using the villager trade rebalance experiment with this datapack for best experience. Also try my other datapack, I recommend Rare villages, it pairs well with the trade rebalance experimental features.<\/p>\n

This datapack will be updated in the future to help discover this information in the game. For now I will include the ore distribution chart in the file and on the datapack page.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy this datapack, feedback is always welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
