[1.16.2] How to add Custom Ore to World Generation

[samjviana 6]

I've an Custom Ore that i want to add to World Gen to the whole Overworld, in previous versions of Minecraft I was able to use ForgeRegistries.BIOMES but that field doesn't exist on ForgeRegistries anymore
I've done an googling but sadly i couldn't find an solution for this.

1.16.2 has biomes/dimension now data-driven. The system is currently being implemented to allow for appending features/structures/spawns to them.

Version 33.0.22 has re-implemented the registry, but things obviously aren't expected to work quite right yet.

So at this point it isn't possible? At least not by the usual way?

I would recommend trying and seeing if it works anyways just for the heck of it.

Forge is in beta right now for 1.16, so some issues are to be expected.

They're working quite hard to get things figured out, but it may take a little while.

i'll look into it, thanks.
Any news i'll post here.

So, after a lot of digging around the forge/minecraft classes i managed to figure it out how the Ore Gen is working.
The feature registering remains similar:

public static void initGen() {
    Registry.register(
        WorldGenRegistries.field_243653_e /* Feature Registering */,
        ModBlocks.ADAMANTINE_ORE.getId() /* Resource Location */,
        Feature.field_236289_V_ /* no_surface_ore */.withConfiguration(
            new OreFeatureConfig(
                OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.field_241882_a /* base_stone_overworld */,
                ModBlocks.ADAMANTINE_ORE.get().getDefaultState() */,
                64 
            )
        ).withPlacement(Placement.field_242910_o /* depth */ .configure(
            new DepthAverageConfig(12, 12)
        )).func_242728_a() /* spreadHorizontally */ .func_242731_b(1) /* repeat */
    );
}

The most trick part was adding that feature in the already configured features of an biome:

public static void setupGen() {
    for (Map.Entry<RegistryKey<Biome>, Biome> biome : WorldGenRegistries.field_243657_i.func_239659_c_() /* Collection of Biome Entries */) {
        if (!biome.getValue().getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.NETHER) && !biome.getValue().getCategory().equals(Biome.Category.THEEND)) {
            addFeatureToBiome(
                biome.getValue(),
                GenerationStage.Decoration.UNDERGROUND_ORES,
                WorldGenRegistries.field_243653_e.getOrDefault(ModBlocks.ADAMANTINE_ORE.getId())
            );
        }
    }
}

public static void addFeatureToBiome(Biome biome, GenerationStage.Decoration decoration, ConfiguredFeature<?, ?> configuredFeature) {
    List<List<Supplier<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>>>> biomeFeatures = new ArrayList<>(
        biome.func_242440_e().func_242498_c() /* List of Configured Features */
    );

    while (biomeFeatures.size() <= decoration.ordinal()) {
        biomeFeatures.add(Lists.newArrayList());
    }
    
    List<Supplier<ConfiguredFeature<?, ?>>> features = new ArrayList<>(biomeFeatures.get(decoration.ordinal()));
    features.add(() -> configuredFeature);
    biomeFeatures.set(decoration.ordinal(), features);

    /* Change field_242484_f that contains the Configured Features of the Biome*/
    ObfuscationReflectionHelper.setPrivateValue(BiomeGenerationSettings.class, biome.func_242440_e(), biomeFeatures, "field_242484_f");
}}

Actually it seems that there's no proper way of doing this by now, since i needed to use the "setPrivateValue".
It's not ideal ... but it works.
Thanks a lot for the guidance.
