Ore Tweaker Mod — Reference
Biome & Dimension Filtering
Ore Tweaker supports advanced filtering to make world generation more dynamic.
Biome Dictionary Support
You can use specific biome names (e.g., minecraft:plains) or Forge BiomeDictionary tags. Using tags allows you to target groups of biomes across different mods simultaneously. Common tags include:
* HOT
* COLD
* WET
* DRY
* MOUNTAIN
* "OCEAN"
Dimension Control
To restrict an ore to a specific dimension, ensure the filler block is native to that dimension. For example, to generate an ore in the Nether, set the filler to minecraft:netherrack. To generate in the End, set it to minecraft:end_stone.
Mechanics: Disabling Ores
To disable an ore, you have two primary methods depending on the version:
- Spawn Rate Method: Open the JSON file for the specific ore and set the
spawnRateto0. This prevents the mod from attempting to generate any veins. - Disable Flag: In some versions, a specific
"disable": trueflag can be added to the JSON to completely bypass the generation logic for that entry.
Note: If you are trying to override vanilla generation with your own custom rules, you must first ensure the vanilla generation is disabled or set to your new values, otherwise both may generate simultaneously.
