How to generate multiple ores

Posted December 19, 201311 yr

Hi guys, I'm very new to modding, both with Minecraft and Forge, and I am having difficulty working out how to get multiple ores to generate in the overworld.

Currently, I only have one class file to generate one ore in the overworld, and it works, but I don't know if I need to have multiple generation classes or if I can get all my ore to generate from one class. Could someone please point me in the right direction of what I would need to do?

This is my my working generation class:

package Syn.Tutorial;

import java.util.Random;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraft.world.chunk.IChunkProvider;
import net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.WorldGenMinable;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.IWorldGenerator;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.IWorldGenerator;

public class WorldGeneratorDiv 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);
	}
}

private void generateSurface(World world, Random random, int BlockX, int BlockZ) {
for(int i =0; i<10;i++){
	int Xcoord = BlockX + random.nextInt(16);
	int Zcoord = BlockZ + random.nextInt(16);
	int Ycoord = random.nextInt(50);
	(new WorldGenMinable(DivineMetals.OrichOre.blockID, 4)).generate(world, random, Xcoord, Ycoord, Zcoord);
}
}
}

Any help is greatly appreciated

You actually can generate it in your current method. I generated multiple ores in the nether like this:

package engineer.morenether.worldgen;

import java.util.Random;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.world.World;
import net.minecraft.world.chunk.IChunkProvider;
import net.minecraft.world.gen.feature.WorldGenMinable;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.IWorldGenerator;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import engineer.morenether.libs.BlockID;

public class NetherOreGen implements IWorldGenerator
{
public NetherOreGen()
{
	GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(this);
	// This will only work when you create this class in: @EventHandler FMLInitializationEvent
}

@Override
public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) 
{
	if(world.provider.dimensionId == -1)
	{
		int x = chunkX * 16;
		int z = chunkZ * 16;

		this.generateCoal(world, x, z, random);
		this.generateIron(world, x, z, random);
		this.generateRedstone(world, x, z, random);
		this.generateLapis(world, x, z, random);
		this.generateGold(world, x, z, random);
		this.generateDiamond(world, x, z, random);
		this.generateEmerald(world, x, z, random);
	}
}

private void generateCoal(World world, int x, int z, Random r)
{	
	for(int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
	{
		int xCoord = x + r.nextInt(16);
		int yCoord = r.nextInt(117) + 10;
		int zCoord = z + r.nextInt(16);

		WorldGenMinable gen = new WorldGenMinable(BlockID.NetherOre, 0, r.nextInt(15), Block.netherrack.blockID);
		gen.generate(world, r, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
	}
}

private void generateIron(World world, int x, int z, Random r)
{	
	for(int i = 0; i < 200; i++)
	{
		int xCoord = x + r.nextInt(16);
		int yCoord = r.nextInt(117) + 10;
		int zCoord = z + r.nextInt(16);

		WorldGenMinable gen = new WorldGenMinable(BlockID.NetherOre, 1, r.nextInt(15), Block.netherrack.blockID);
		gen.generate(world, r, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
	}
}

private void generateRedstone(World world, int x, int z, Random r)
{	
	for(int i = 0; i < 240; i++)
	{
		int xCoord = x + r.nextInt(16);
		int yCoord = r.nextInt(117) + 10;
		int zCoord = z + r.nextInt(16);

		WorldGenMinable gen = new WorldGenMinable(BlockID.NetherOre, 2, r.nextInt(, Block.netherrack.blockID);
		gen.generate(world, r, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
	}
}

private void generateLapis(World world, int x, int z, Random r)
{	
	for(int i = 0; i < 240; i++)
	{
		int xCoord = x + r.nextInt(16);
		int yCoord = r.nextInt(117) + 10;
		int zCoord = z + r.nextInt(16);

		WorldGenMinable gen = new WorldGenMinable(BlockID.NetherOre, 3, r.nextInt(, Block.netherrack.blockID);
		gen.generate(world, r, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
	}
}

private void generateGold(World world, int x, int z, Random r)
{	
	for(int i = 0; i < r.nextInt(140); i++)
	{
		int xCoord = x + r.nextInt(16);
		int yCoord = r.nextInt(117) + 10;
		int zCoord = z + r.nextInt(16);

		WorldGenMinable gen = new WorldGenMinable(BlockID.NetherOre, 4, r.nextInt(11), Block.netherrack.blockID);
		gen.generate(world, r, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
	}
}

private void generateDiamond(World world, int x, int z, Random r)
{
	for(int i = 0; i < r.nextInt(60); i++)
	{
		int xCoord = x + r.nextInt(16);
		int yCoord = r.nextInt(117) + 10;
		int zCoord = z + r.nextInt(16);

		WorldGenMinable gen = new WorldGenMinable(BlockID.NetherOre, 5, r.nextInt(7), Block.netherrack.blockID);
		gen.generate(world, r, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
	}
}

private void generateEmerald(World world, int x, int z, Random r)
{	
	for(int i = 0; i < r.nextInt(125); i++)
	{
		int xCoord = x + r.nextInt(16);
		int yCoord = r.nextInt(117) + 10;
		int zCoord = z + r.nextInt(16);

		WorldGenMinable gen = new WorldGenMinable(BlockID.NetherOre, 1, r.nextInt(5), Block.netherrack.blockID);
		gen.generate(world, r, xCoord, yCoord, zCoord);
	}
}
}

I am fairly new to Java and modding, so my answers are not always 100% correct. Sorry for that!

Thanks for the reply! I'll give that a try

Having a "crashed whilst rendering overlay" situation.

I cannot delete the file in config as, for some reason, my .minecraft folder does not Have a config folder. I have just redownloaded Minecraft as well as CurseForge after a while of not playing.

Got a "The game crashed: rendering overlay" error

I did this and it worked (after I disabled an unused library mod that failed to load).
Out of curiosity I tried it with Nirvana re-enabled, and it worked. I then tried the original profile (with the only change being disabling the aforementioned library mod) and it worked just fine.

Words cannot describe my confusion, but thank you.

I need help with a custom structure in my mod.

I solved it. It wasn't related to anything above. . I simply named the folder "structures" instead of "structure" where my nbt file was located. . I changed it and it was fixed. . I can't believe how I didn't notice such a small thing.
