Description

💎 Ore Minus

Control ore spawn rates in specific biomes. Make diamonds spawn 2x in deserts, disable coal in mountains, or customize ore distribution for your world.

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Install the mod and launch Minecraft
  2. Load a world to generate config/ore_minus-template.txt
  3. Copy entries from template to config/ore_minus-common.toml
  4. Edit multipliers and generate new chunks

⚠️ Important

  • Only affects newly generated chunks
  • Always configure both regular AND deepslate variants
  • Use config/ore_minus-template.txt for all biome/ore IDs
  • Works with modded content
  • We advise you to stay < 1.5 chance rate

⚙️ Config Format

Edit config/ore_minus-common.toml:

  biomeOreModifiers = [
      "biome_id|ore_id|multiplier"
 ]

Example: Disable Diamonds in Oceans

biomeOreModifiers = [
    "minecraft:ocean|minecraft:diamond_ore|0.0",
    "minecraft:ocean|minecraft:deepslate_diamond_ore|0.0"
]

📈 Multiplier Guide

Multiplier Effect Description
0.0 Completely disabled No ore generation
0.5 50% spawn rate Rare
1.0 Default vanilla rate Normal
1.5 150% spawn rate Very common
3.0 300% spawn rate too many ores

🔧 How It Works

Controls ore spawn rates by modifying vein generation. Ore clusters stay natural - when you find diamonds, you still get 4-8 together.

🌐 Distribution Viewer (For Modpack Makers)

Want to share your custom ore distribution with players? Use the Ore Minus Distribution Viewer:

👉 https://gitlab.com/the-zrzci/ore-minus-distribution

This Vue app lets you create a searchable webpage showing where players can find each ore and at what spawn rates.

How to use:

  1. Clone/fork the repo
  2. Put your ore_minus-common.toml in the /public folder
  3. Build and deploy as a static Vue page
  4. Players can now search and see all biomes with spawn rates of individual ores

Perfect for modpacks - give your players an easy way to look up ore locations!
