I am really close to finishing the basics of my mod but am having issues with ore generation.

Since Forge doesn't have much documentation on world generation I looked on YouTube to see what they've done, and it seems that all block generation is dependent on the biome.

So I essentially copied their code word for word (attempting to understand it along the way) and it seems not to be working.

 

Here's my code for ore generation.

I put the debug there in order to see when the Forge actually ran this generateOre method, but to my surprise I found nothing in my "debug.txt" file.

So my current guess as to why the code isn't working is because Forge isn't actually running this method,

but according to the video, it should. I don't know the difference between 1.15 and 1.16 is a lot but I believe it should still be quite similar.

Anyways, I would appreciate all the help

1) Class names were decided to start from a capital letter. Please, change your mod class name to "Testmod".

2) If you found nothing in debug.txt it means, that forge does not recognize your mod at all, because at least 1 message you log in you mod class constructor.

3) You did not subscribe your mod class with Mod.EventBusSubscriber annotation. Put "@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(bus = Bus.MOD, modid = Testmod.MODID)" before your main class.
