Custom ore generation

[yanksrock1019]

Can someone please help me with ore generation, and making my ore spawn as often as coal. I have the file but I don't really understand it. I just looked at an example and copied it, but I want to know how to make it spawn more often and at different levels.

I just want to know which line affects the amount it spawns and on what level

[coolboy4531]

Spawn Level:

int randPosX = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);
int randPosY = random.nextInt(40);
int randPosZ = chunkZ +random.nextInt(16);

 

Amount:

(new WorldGenMinable(PupletMod.pupletOre, 10)).generate(world, random, randPosX, randPosY, randPosZ);

 

Spawn Chance:

for (int i = 0; i < 13; i++)

[yanksrock1019]

To increase the chance I should put i<100, right?

Why don't you try it and see?

 

coolboy4531's post broke it down pretty well, so you should notice that the y position is the height at which your ore will spawn. You are using rand.nextInt(40), which returns a value between 0 and 39, meaning your ore will be in those layers of the world, and those layers only. Look deeper if you're not finding it.

I am not sure you unterstood him right.

 

Whoops, my mistake.  I connected the title with the mod of the same name and wasn't able to see past it.
