[1.16.4]How to generate ores

[QWERTY 52 38]

I am trying to make my own mod and I want to add ores at overworld.

 

A tutorial said I should use biome.addFeature like this:

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
public class OreGen {
    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void onSetUpEvent(FMLCommonSetupEvent event) {
        for (Biome biome : ForgeRegistries.BIOMES) {
            biome.addFeature(GenerationStage.Decoration.UNDERGROUND_ORES,
                    Feature.ORE.withConfiguration(
                            new OreFeatureConfig(OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.BASE_STONE_OVERWORLD,
                                    BlockRegistry.block_mcbbswiki.get().getDefaultState(),
                                    3)
                    ).withPlacement(Placement.DEPTH_AVERAGE.configure(new DepthAverageConfig(20, 5)))
            );
        }
    }
}

However, in minecraft 1.16.4, there's no biome.addFeature method.

 

So, How do I use OreGen?

First you need to register your feature to the ConfiguredFeature Registry

Then you can add it to the biome generation through the Biome Loading Event (not the Common Setup)

 

if you want an example:

@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = TutorialMod.MOD_ID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD)
public class ModFeatures {

    public static ConfiguredFeature<?, ?> ORE_SILVER_CONFIG;

    @SubscribeEvent
    public static void setup(FMLCommonSetupEvent event) {
        ORE_SILVER_CONFIG = Registry.register(WorldGenRegistries.CONFIGURED_FEATURE, "ore_silver",
            Feature.ORE.withConfiguration(
                new OreFeatureConfig(
                    OreFeatureConfig.FillerBlockType.BASE_STONE_OVERWORLD,
                    ModBlocks.SILVER_ORE.get().getDefaultState(), 9)
            ).range(64).square().func_242731_b(20)
        );
    }
}

 

@SubscribeEvent
    public void onBiomeLoading(final BiomeLoadingEvent biome) {
        if(biome.getCategory() == Biome.Category.NETHER || biome.getCategory() == Biome.Category.THEEND) return;

        biome.getGeneration().getFeatures(GenerationStage.Decoration.UNDERGROUND_ORES)
            .add(() -> ModFeatures.ORE_SILVER_CONFIG);
    }
