[1.7.2] Mod ores not generating

[R3C]

I have a mod in which I want to add ores that generate in the world. I have done everything I believe is needed to be done (made ores, made an IWorldGenerator that generates the ores, and registered the generator) but when I test it none of the ores spawn.

 

Main mod file:

@Mod(modid = "ores", name = "Ores", version = "0.0.1")
public class OresMod 
{
static final String TEXTURE = "ores:";

static Block tinOre = new BlockOre(),
	  		 copperOre = new BlockOre(),
	  		 leadOre = new BlockOre(),
	  		 uraniumOre = new BlockOre(),
	  		 nickelOre = new BlockOre(),
	  		 silverOre = new BlockOre(),
	  		 osmiumOre = new BlockOre();

static Item tinIngot = new Item(),
	 	    copperIngot = new Item(),
	 	    leadIngot = new Item(),
	 	    uraniumIngot = new Item(),
	 	    nickelIngot = new Item(),
	 	    silverIngot = new Item(),
	 	    osmiumIngot = new Item();

public static void initializeBlocks()
{
	tinOre.setHardness(3.0F).setResistance(5.0F).setStepSound(Block.soundTypeStone).setBlockTextureName(TEXTURE + "oreTin").setBlockName("oreTin").setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock).setHarvestLevel("ItemPickaxe", 2);

	silverOre.setHardness(3.0F).setResistance(5.0F).setStepSound(Block.soundTypeStone).setBlockTextureName(TEXTURE + "oreSilver").setBlockName("oreSilver").setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock).setHarvestLevel("ItemPickaxe", 2);

tinVS, tinOC, tinSL, etc. are vein-size, occurrence, and spawn-levels, all gathered from a config.

You must create Blocks inside preInit.

 

What exactly do you mean?

Example:

 

//basic class stuff above
public static Block tutblock;

@EventHandler
public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent event) {
tutblock = new TutBlock().setUnlocalizedName("tutBlock");
//other stuff
}

Found the problem. i derped and forgot to call the config initialization. Everything is working now
