Work with Modded Ores from Other Mods

Enable Auto-Discovery

Vast Mineral Seams can automatically detect ores added by other mods. Ensure auto_discover_modded_ores is set to true in your config file. This scans installed mods for custom ore blocks.

Automatic Activation

Once detected, newly found ores can be activated automatically if auto_enable_discovered_modded_ores is also true. This means custom ores will spawn in large veins without you needing to manually edit the config.

Manual Configuration (Optional)

If you want precise control over a modded ore:

1. Find the ore's registry name (check the mod's documentation or use /give commands to identify it)

2. Add a new entry to your config with custom min_y, max_y, and enabled status

3. Adjust vein_size_multiplier and attempt_multiplier to control spawn frequency

Test in New Chunks

Generated chunks use the config at the time they were created. Explore ungenerated terrain to see your modded ore veins. Existing chunks won't update unless you use world editing tools.

Troubleshooting

If a modded ore isn't spawning, verify the mod is installed, check that auto-discovery is enabled, and confirm the ore wasn't disabled in your config.
