Description

Mining World

This mod adds a separate mining world with customizable ore generation.
All generation is controlled via JSON files, allowing you to define:

  • Ore type
  • Blocks it replaces
  • Height range
  • Vein size and number of veins per chunk
  • Chance of spawning

Players and servers can create their own ore sets without modifying the mod’s code.

Usage

  • After installing the mod, use the command:
/digdim

This creates a mining dimension with ore generation based on your JSON settings.

  • JSON configuration files are located in:
data/<modid>/miningworld/
  • Example file iron_ore.json:
{ "ore_block": "minecraft:iron_ore", "replace_block": "minecraft:stone", "min_height": 0, "max_height": 56, "min_vein_size": 3, "max_vein_size": 7, "min_veins_per_chunk": 2, "max_veins_per_chunk": 5, "chance": 0.8 }

JSON Parameters

  • ore_block — block to generate.
  • replace_block — block that is replaced.
  • min_height / max_height — vertical range for veins.
  • min_vein_size / max_vein_size — minimum and maximum vein size.
  • min_veins_per_chunk / max_veins_per_chunk — number of veins per chunk.
  • chance — probability of vein spawning (0.0–1.0).

Adding Custom Generation

  1. Create a JSON file with your desired settings in data/<modid>/miningworld/.
  2. Restart the game or use /reload.
  3. Any new mining dimension created via /digdim will use these settings.
