What does the Ore Tweaker Mod do?
It lets you adjust ore generation and world distribution so you can customize where and how often ores appear. You can disable vanilla ores, change their spawn rules, or add your own custom ore generation.
Which Minecraft versions does Ore Tweaker support?
The mod file lists Minecraft 1.17 to 1.18, while the author's project page lists 1.16.5, 1.17, 1.17.1, 1.18, 1.18.1, and 1.18.2.
Can Ore Tweaker disable vanilla ores?
Yes. You can turn off the default generation for any vanilla ore, for example by setting "Disable Diamond Ore" to true and saving the config.
Can Ore Tweaker stop dirt, gravel, andesite, granite, and diorite from spawning?
Yes. It can stop underground pockets of dirt, gravel, andesite, granite, and diorite from spawning.
How do you configure Ore Tweaker?
It is configured using JSON files in the ../config/oretweaker/data/ folder. You can open the file for the ore you want to tweak, like coal_ore.json, or create your own file.
What settings can you change for each ore in Ore Tweaker?
You can set the Ore block, the Filler block it replaces, MinY and MaxY, MaxVeinSize, SpawnRate, and a BiomeBlacklist or BiomeWhitelist.
Can Ore Tweaker add custom ore generation?
Yes, but you must disable the vanilla ore generation for that ore first. Then you set the custom ore generation to true and add a vein spawn rate, maximum and minimum vein size, and maximum and minimum spawn level.
Can Ore Tweaker control which biomes ores spawn in?
Yes. You can use a biome blacklist to prevent ores from generating in specific biomes, or a biome whitelist to allow ores to generate only in specific biomes.
Does Ore Tweaker add new items or blocks?
No. It is a utility mod for tweaking ore generation, not a mod that adds new items or blocks.
