I have a mod that adds several other ore mining methods and I need to control the vanilla ore generation in the world. I tried to use method with data/worldgen/configured_feature(or placed_feature), but But here comes the problem with the colossal increase in the number of giant veins of iron and copper. Are there ways to do this in a different way or to improve the previous one?

So the configured feature just modifies the maximum size of the veins. The placed feature determines how many spawn, at what locations, etc. If you want to reduce the size of the vein, modify the number in the configured feature. If you want to reduce the number of veins, modify the placed feature. The placed feature that modifies the number of veins should usually be the first one on the list. The Minecraft wiki has an entire section on what each type does.

I've used this wiki, but the result I'm getting isn't what I want. I searched a lot on the internet and as I understand, there are no more ways to achieve something like this

Deepslate ores are generated in general by smaller veins. Can this be controlled?

They are generated the same way as regular ores, so yes, you can control it.
