Ore Minus

💎 Ore Minus

Control ore spawn rates in specific biomes. Make diamonds spawn 2x in deserts, disable coal in mountains, or customize ore distribution for your world.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install the mod and launch Minecraft
2. Load a world to generate config/ore_minus-template.txt
3. Copy entries from template to config/ore_minus-common.toml
4. Edit multipliers and generate new chunks

⚠️ Important

• Only affects newly generated chunks
• Always configure both regular AND deepslate variants
• Use config/ore_minus-template.txt for all biome/ore IDs
• Works with modded content
• We advise you to stay < 1.5 chance rate

⚙️ Config Format

Edit config/ore_minus-common.toml:

  biomeOreModifiers = [
      "biome_id|ore_id|multiplier"
 ]

Example: Disable Diamonds in Oceans

biomeOreModifiers = [
    "minecraft:ocean|minecraft:diamond_ore|0.0",
    "minecraft:ocean|minecraft:deepslate_diamond_ore|0.0"
]

📈 Multiplier Guide

| Multiplier | Effect | Description |
| :—: | :— | :— |
| 0.0 | Completely disabled | No ore generation |
| 0.5 | 50% spawn rate | Rare |
| 1.0 | Default vanilla rate | Normal |
| 1.5 | 150% spawn rate | Very common |
| 3.0 | 300% spawn rate | too many ores |

🔧 How It Works

Controls ore spawn rates by modifying vein generation. Ore clusters stay natural – when you find diamonds, you still get 4-8 together.

🌐 Distribution Viewer (For Modpack Makers)

Want to share your custom ore distribution with players? Use the Ore Minus Distribution Viewer:

👉 https://gitlab.com/the-zrzci/ore-minus-distribution

This Vue app lets you create a searchable webpage showing where players can find each ore and at what spawn rates.

How to use:

1. Clone/fork the repo
2. Put your ore_minus-common.toml in the /public folder
3. Build and deploy as a static Vue page
4. Players can now search and see all biomes with spawn rates of individual ores

Perfect for modpacks – give your players an easy way to look up ore locations!
