My ore spawns too much! [SOLVED]

[ajaygross137]

Hey guys! My ore spawns way too much... I want my ore to be more rare then diamond, but not as annoyingly rare as emerald.

Here is the SuperOreWorldGeneration code:

 

package ajaygross137.MyFirstMod.worldGen;

import java.util.Random;

import ajaygross137.MyFirstMod.common.MyFirstMod;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraft.world.chunk.IChunkProvider;
import net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.WorldGenMinable;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.IWorldGenerator;

public class SuperOreWorldGeneration implements IWorldGenerator {

@Override
public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
	switch(world.provider.dimensionId) {
	case 0:
		generateSurface(world, random, chunkX*16, chunkZ*16);
		break;
	}

}

private void generateSurface(World world, Random random, int i, int j) {
	for (int k = 0; k < 25; k++) {
		int chunkX = i + random.nextInt(16);
		int chunkY = random.nextInt(16);
		int chunkZ = j + random.nextInt(16);

		(new WorldGenMinable(MyFirstMod.SuperOre.blockID, ).generate(world, random, chunkX, chunkY, chunkZ);
	}

}

}

Then reduce the chance for it to generate?

atm it seems like you are generating 25 veins per chunk or something

Choose a value between the one for diamond and emerald

STOP!

Right now, just stop.

 

THINK!

Just think over what you want to achieve for a few seconds.

Consider what it means for something to be rare, it means it happens less often. So how do we make something happen at a % chance?

Now by using Random you are easily able to do that I bet

 

Now considering some other ways to limit spawning, we could make sure to only do it in a specific Y range like diamonds or only in specific biomes.

 

Yeah, well I said more than I intended to say, so there ya go

Good luck

Thanks! Now one more question... How do I mark this as [sOLVED]?
