Hello, I am trying to make a block of mine(richOreCopper) generate in veins of one ore each. Currently, I'm using the same code that I use for other ores, and just setting WordGenMineable's size to 1; However, this seems like it isn't working. This is my code:

Spoiler

public class ModWorldGen implements IWorldGenerator {

    @Override
    public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkGenerator chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
        if (world.provider.getDimension() == 0){ //Overworld
            generateOverworld(random, chunkX, chunkZ, world, chunkGenerator, chunkProvider);
        }
    }

    private void generateOverworld(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkGenerator chunkGenerator, IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
        generateOre(ModBlocks.oreCopper.getDefaultState(), world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16, 16, 64, 4 + random.nextInt(4), 6);
        generateOre(ModBlocks.richOreCopper.getDefaultState(), world, random, chunkX * 16, chunkZ * 16, 16, 64, 1, 6);
    }

    private void generateOre(IBlockState ore, World world, Random random, int x, int z, int minY, int maxY, int size, int chances) {
        int deltaY = maxY - minY;

        for(int i = 0; i < chances; i++) {
            BlockPos pos = new BlockPos(x + random.nextInt(16), minY + random.nextInt(deltaY), z + random.nextInt(16));

            WorldGenMinable generator = new WorldGenMinable(ore, size);
            generator.generate(world, random, pos);
        }
    }

 

I know it isn't a problem with that block specifically because I've gotten it to generate by setting the size to a larger number. Does anybody know what the issue could be?? Thanks!

Probably because the random had values used up so it's placing those solo blocks somewhere else.

hmm... I've experienced the exact same thing. Im not sure how to fix it, but I can tell you that for some reason one of the if statements in WorldGenMineable::generate never passes with a vein size of 1... Not sure which one though... I can't access a computer right now...

 

Edit:

Not entirely sure why - I'm not that great at math, but with some debugging I'm pretty sure that it's this line in WorldGenMineable...
