Create Ore Excavation Deposits
by NIKNIK67
Create Ore Excavation Deposits adds multi-chunk ore deposits whose richness grows with distance from spawn, and it requires Create Ore Excavation to run.
What it does
Deposits spread across several chunks. The yield peaks in the core chunk and fades toward the outer chunks down to a configurable floor, which defaults to 30. Spawn biomes can be set in config, and deposit types can be tied to biomes such as iron in mountains and taiga, gold in badlands and savanna, and nether quartz in nether biomes. Dimensions are chosen per type, and each dimension keeps its own tracking and reproducible seed.
Players find deposits through four reveal policies set per type: always visible, discovery by walking near them, proximity, or only with a Vein Finder. Deposits can be shared in chat as clickable entries that post to the map, and a player can share the deposit they are hovering over with a bound world-map key. Sharing needs operator permission in some cases, and Admin subcommands require permission level 2 through op. Create Ore Excavation Deposits requires Create Ore Excavation and Fabric API on Fabric, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
