[1.11] How do you generate a block in something other than stone??

[SapphireSky]

I'm trying to make a generic method to more easily add a vein of ore to generation.

But for some reason it's totally ignoring the block it's supposed to replace and filling the above-ground air with tons of randomly placed ores.

 

From my understanding, using BlockStateMatcher.forBlock(block) as the last parameter in WorldGenMineable() is supposed to make it only generate in that block, instead of the default Stone, right?

Well that's not working at all. So why is this happening?

 

@Override
	public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkGenerator chunkGenerator,
			IChunkProvider chunkProvider)
	{
		switch (world.provider.getDimension())
		{
			case 0:
				generateSurface(world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16);
				break;
		}
	}

	private void generateSurface(World world, Random random, int blockX, int blockZ)
	{
		generateOre(world, random, blockX, blockZ, Registry.quickSilverOre, Blocks.STONE, 5, 60, 5, 4);
		generateOre(world, random, blockX, blockZ, Registry.bloodstoneOre, Blocks.GRAVEL, 5, 128, 12, 1);
	}

	private void generateOre(World world, Random random, int chunkX, int chunkY, Block oreToGenerate, Block blockToReplace,
			int minHeight, int maxHeight, int amountPerChunk, int veinSize)
	{
		for (int i = 0; i < amountPerChunk; i++)
		{
			int x = chunkX + random.nextInt(16);
			int y = minHeight + random.nextInt(maxHeight - minHeight);
			int z = chunkY + random.nextInt(16);

			world.setBlockState(new BlockPos(x, y, z), Registry.quickSilverOre.getDefaultState());
                                           
			WorldGenMinable wg = new WorldGenMinable(oreToGenerate.getDefaultState(), veinSize,
					BlockStateMatcher.forBlock(blockToReplace));
			wg.generate(world, random, new BlockPos(x, y, z));
		}
	}

Why?

 

And unless you need property matching you want to use BlockMatcher, not BlockStateMatcher, it's faster.

Wow, I didn't even realise I had put that there. Now I feel like an idiot.

But thanks.
