Ore Tweaker Distribution Types (1.18+)

In Ore Tweaker 3 (Minecraft and higher), the mod supports the new vanilla distribution mechanics. You must specify a placement_type to define how ores are spread across the Y-levels.

Uniform Distribution

Ores have an equal chance of spawning at any height between minY and maxY. This is the classic distribution style used in older versions of Minecraft.

Triangle (Trapezoid) Distribution

Ores are most common at the center of the minY and maxY range, with the spawn frequency tapering off as you move toward the edges. This is used in vanilla 1.18 for ores like Diamond and Lapis Lazuli to create "sweet spots" for mining.
