Override Vanilla Ore Gen

[GeoDoX]

How would I go about Overriding Vanilla ore Gens, Iron to be more specific.

 

What I'm trying to do is replace Iron Ore with my own Iron Ore, and have it gen instead of Vanilla's.

If you already know how to generate ore couldn't you just do a loop on gen to search for vanilla iron and replace it with your own? Its probably not the best way to do it but its an idea!

That's what I'm trying to find out how to do, I've thought of multiple ways of how to do it but I'm not sure how to do it.

any ideas?

You juste have to go in BiomeDecorator and remove the iron generation in it.

I don't think this is a wise move, as iron ore is something that's used a LOT, so removing it and putting your own might cause a lot of incompatibility issues. Is there any way of doing what you want to accomplish without replacing the ore?

Just add an ore without removing the iron ore !

a cool trick would be to override iron ore in the blockList and let minecraft gen your ore in iron ores place. This would cause already generated ore to become your ore as well as new ores.

int i = Block.glass.blockID;//get the blocks id
Block.blocksList[i] = null;    //set the block to null in the block list
Block BlockGlass = new net.minecraft.src.GSM.BlockGlass(20);//let modloader replace block slot 20 with yours

Would this be modifying Base Classes?
