Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create a new world for the mod to work?
No, the mod will generate new veins in unloaded chunks of existing worlds, but chunks that were already explored before installing the mod won't be regenerated. Starting a new world ensures you get the full benefit of massive ore deposits from the beginning.
Why am I not seeing huge ore veins?
Check that the mod is enabled in your config file and that vein_size_multiplier isn't set to 0 or a very low value. Also verify you're mining in unloaded or newly generated terrain, since previously explored chunks won't have the new veins.
How do I turn off ore generation for specific minerals?
Open the mod's configuration file and locate the individual ore settings—you can disable specific ores like emerald or netherite by setting their enabled value to false without affecting other minerals.
Can I use this mod with other mods that add custom ores?
Yes, the mod has an automatic detection system that finds ores added by other mods. Make sure auto_discover_modded_ores is set to true in your config, and newly detected ores will appear in large veins automatically.
