How do I make ores/blocks only generate in certain biomes 1.7.10

[Swifts_Tech_Talks]

Hi im making a mod on 1.7.10 and I have a block that I only want to spawn in oceans (all ocean biomes)

I'm quite new to modding and I can't really find much on the internet for this so I wanted to make this thread.

 

here is my current code

 

package com.swift.swiftsmod;

import java.util.Random;

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

public class OreGeneration implements IWorldGenerator {

    @Override
    public void generate(Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, World world, IChunkProvider chunkGenerator,
            IChunkProvider chunkProvider) {
        switch (world.provider.dimensionId)

        {
        case 1:
            generateEnd(world, random, chunkX, chunkZ);
            break;

        case 0:
            generateOverworld(world, random, chunkX, chunkZ);
            break;

        case -1:
            generateNether(world, random, chunkX, chunkZ);
            break;
        }

    }

    public void generateEnd(World world, Random rand, int x, int z) {

    }

    public void generateOverworld(World world, Random rand, int x, int z) {
        generateOre(SwiftsMod.blockwaterOre, world, rand, x, z, 3, 9, 15, 1, 80, Blocks.stone);
        
        generateOre(SwiftsMod.blockmoneyOre, world, rand, x, z, 4, 14, 20, 1, 130, Blocks.stone); //4 min vien, 14 max vien, chance 20, 1 min level, 130 max level 

    }

    public void generateNether(World world, Random rand, int x, int z) {

    }

    public void generateOre(Block block, World world, Random random, int chunkX, int chunkZ, int minVienSize, int maxVienSize, 
            int chance, int minY, int maxY, Block generateIn) {
        int veinSize = minVienSize + random.nextInt(maxVienSize - minVienSize);
        int heightRange = maxY - minY;
        WorldGenMinable gen = new WorldGenMinable(block, veinSize, generateIn);
        for(int i = 0; i < chance; i++){
            int xRand = chunkX * 16 + random.nextInt(16);
            int yRand = random.nextInt(heightRange) + minY;
            int zRand = chunkZ * 16 + random.nextInt(16);
            gen.generate(world, random, xRand, yRand, zRand);
            
        }
    }
}

Follow up
I have made a normal block similar to stone but is not an ore. Where and how would I place it in and how would I make it generate in oceans only?

Ill try to give every detail needed

Thanks for the help...

I didn't say 1.14 I said modern. And I say it because we don't support any versions below 1.12 because the changes are massive.

Where would I go to get help on this mod then? Because anything above 1.9 is absolute garbage

I guess somewhere with people who share your opinion?

Is there some old version mod support on this site?

Nope.

Forge supports the current version (1.14 at the time of this writing) and one version back (ish, which is 1.12 at the time of this writing; 1.13 is sort of an interim version and was largely skipped). Sometimes it'll go back 2 versions (some help is available for 1.10, but won't be immediately locked).
