Frequently asked questions

How do I find large ore deposits?

Deposits are extremely rare and generate deep underground, so you'll mostly stumble onto them while branch mining or caving at low depths. Watch for the above-ground indicator block (like a rare flower) if the deposit's config defines one, since it marks a deposit directly below.

Why can't I find any deposits in my world?

Deposits are intentionally super-rare, so a single mining trip often turns up nothing. Also check that the deposit's config allows your current dimension and biome, since restrictions can exclude whole areas.

How do I see which deposits exist in my game?

Run /lods list deposits to print every available deposit in chat, where the config name equals the deposit name. Use that list to confirm a deposit is actually loaded before hunting for it.

How do I test deposits without mining for hours?

Use the /lods commands to list and generate deposits for testing instead of searching manually. This lets you verify a config works before committing to a long mining session.
