Hello all!

 

I recently picked up this whole modding thing a day or two ago and already have a mod which, I think, is good for that amount of time. My only problem is ore generation. I've read most of the available tutorials on it, and have built a generator. But here's the problem: when I run the mod in Eclipse, I can go down to the level I set spawning at and find some of my ore relatively quickly, but once I've packaged it up and put it in the mods folder for Minecraft, I get a load of nothing. I originally though it must have been because I set the ore to spawn at an absurdly low rate, but 20 minutes later still proved nothing.

 

Maybe its just my own incompetence but I think somethings up here. I included the snippet of my main file where I set the generator, and I included the generator itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

The generator:

package ryan.ryansmod;

import java.util.Random;

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

public class RyansGenerator implements IWorldGenerator {
@Override
public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
        switch(world.provider.dimensionId){
        case -1:
            generateNether(world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16);
            break;
        case 0:
            generateSurface(world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16);
            break;
        case 1:
            generateEnd(world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16);
            break;
        }

}

private void generateEnd(World world, Random random, int i, int j) {}

private void generateSurface(World world, Random random, int i, int j) {
	for(int k = 0; k < 10; k++) {
		int AleniumOreXCoord = i + random.nextInt(16); //remember +i
		int AleniumOreYCoord = random.nextInt(14);
		int AleniumOreZCoord = j + random.nextInt(16); //remember +j

		new WorldGenMinable(Ryansmod.AleniumOreBlock, 10).generate(world, random, AleniumOreXCoord, AleniumOreYCoord, AleniumOreZCoord);
	}
}

private void generateNether(World world, Random random, int i, int j) {}

}

 

And the snippet of where I call the generator into action (Inside the base mod class of course):

@EventHandler
        public void load(FMLInitializationEvent event) {
        	GameRegistry.registerWorldGenerator(new RyansGenerator(), 0);
                proxy.registerRenderers();
        }

It mystically fixed itself. Sorry for bothering!
