Can i get an explanation of how to create basic ore generation for intellij 1.15.2?

[Jambaloo]

I've already created a custom ore but i want it to generate in the world like other ores would. How would i do this?

Ores and stuff like that are added to the world as Features added to biomes.

 

Take a look at the DefaultBiomeFeatures class in the net.minecraft.world.biome package, search for the word ores, and it will show you how the vanilla ores are added.

 

You will want to add features in your FMLCommonSetupEvent, using DeferredWorkQueue.runLater

 

Give it a shot, if you run into troubles, come back here and post your code (or the best way, is to have your project on github and share the link here), and be descriptive what is going wrong/not working, and post your debug.log (using a github gist or something, again paste the link here)

Thanks, I'll look into that

Your IDE is irrelevant, you don't need to include it. You could be using Notepad++ and the oregen process wouldn't change. You'd have a harder time navigating files, but that's it.

okay thanks, i'm really new to this. does that mean i can follow tutorials where they code on eclipse?

Yes. They're just editors.

The shortcuts, layout, and such are going to be different, but that's just a preferences thing.

 

Its like asking "oh, can I search the internet with Bing instead of Google?" Yes. Yes you can.
