Well, my friend, it completely worked! Easy, brilliant and simple way to make this. I cannot confirm if the ores spawn only on the surface of lava pools or also floating inside them as all the pools I've found were 1 block deep. It's not exaactly what I envisioned, but for the cool, easy to implement idea, I thank you, and added you to the acknowledgements.

Unfortunately I'm also new to modding, so I'm not that familiar with the full code base. Maybe someone else'll know? I still definitely recommend looking into where in the original source the lava pools are spawned and seeing if there's anything you can hook into there, just in case.

I'm not on my dev machine so I can't check the code myself, but I'm fairly certain the bee nest generation is attached to and triggered by the tree generation itself. If you want to use that approach, you'll need to hook into the lava pool generation, which I suspect is pretty difficult. Alternatively, I took a peek at some world gen stuff, and have you considered making the valid replacement block be lava source blocks instead of stone? It has the small chance of completely filling an underground lava pool, but otherwise I think it might do what you need.
