I made a harvest-able block that drops a vanilla item. All I need to know how to do know is to make it generate on top of dirt and other ground type blocks, rather than in caves as with traditional ores. Think of "Terrafirmacraft" type ores, that's what I want.

Look at how the biome adds like tree gen features.

Thanks the Biome classes were really helpful, as was this video guide :

I strongly advice against using HarryTalk's modding "tutorials".

I have followed 2 or 3 of his to success, his item and block tutorials particularly. Anyways i am a bit stuck here, I tried the following (from a class called from main @mod file) :

 

public void setUp() {
		
		for (Biome biome : Biome.BIOMES) {
			
			 biome.addFeature(Decoration.VEGETAL_DECORATION, Biome.createDecoratedFeature(Feature.CACTUS, IFeatureConfig.NO_FEATURE_CONFIG, Placement.COUNT_HEIGHTMAP_DOUBLE, new FrequencyConfig(128)));

		}

 

It's just to test to see if it works or not. And it does, but only for biomes that already have cactus in them. The desert biome gets cactus galore with this code, but non cactus biomes still don't have them. So yeah, help needed....

 

Cool results though :

Feature.CACTUS

This is probably not run for all biomes...

This only means that you haven't realized that the dumpster is on fire yet.

Not that the dumpster isn't a dumpster or not on fire.

Yeah I figured things out looking at the Feature class and all the forge registries for all the other various feature classes (trees, outposts, melons, etc.) I think I am getting the hay of things :

 

 

 

 

Got it, I copied this from DefaultBiomeFeatures :

 

biomeIn.addFeature(GenerationStage.Decoration.LOCAL_MODIFICATIONS, Biome.createDecoratedFeature(Feature.FOREST_ROCK, new BlockBlobConfig(Blocks.MOSSY_COBBLESTONE.getDefaultState(), 0), Placement.FOREST_ROCK, new FrequencyConfig(3)));

 

Of course I changed a couple things to have my own custom generation, and wallah here is my ore spawning with temporary obsidian texture
