does it matter if what i did follows convention, I think you will find that starting your mod_XXX class with a lower case m is against the normal java naming convention. This was following a tutorial for something I didn't know much about, by someone I would expect to have more experience than me when it comes to modding, so it is unlikely I would question a simple break of convention.

it wasn't copy and paste. I've used java before this for other stuff, I'm rather new to modding though and I don't know the minecraft forge/modloader api very well yet as it's only my first day of using forge. This was done following a tutorial on youtube. Please find evidence before you make such accusations.

I've run into a problem when writing my first mod. I'm trying to get my ore to generate but no matter what I try it won't show in the world. This is the code I'm using to generate my ore in the world (everything in my mod_ file seems to be set up fine) public void GenerateSurface(World world, Random rand, int chunkX, int chunkZ) { for(int L = 0; L < 5; L++) { int i1 = chunkX + rand.nextInt(16); int j1 = rand.nextInt(20); int k1 = chunkZ + rand.nextInt(16); new WorldGenMinable(voidOre.blockID, 4).generate(world, rand, i1, j1, k1); } } any advice??
