Mining World

Mining World

This mod adds a separate mining world with customizable ore generation.
All generation is controlled via JSON files, allowing you to define:

• Ore type
• Blocks it replaces
• Height range
• Vein size and number of veins per chunk
• Chance of spawning

Players and servers can create their own ore sets without modifying the mod’s code.

Usage

• After installing the mod, use the command:

/digdim

This creates a mining dimension with ore generation based on your JSON settings.

• JSON configuration files are located in:

data/<modid>/miningworld/

• Example file iron_ore.json:

{
  "ore_block": "minecraft:iron_ore",
  "replace_block": "minecraft:stone",
  "min_height": 0,
  "max_height": 56,
  "min_vein_size": 3,
  "max_vein_size": 7,
  "min_veins_per_chunk": 2,
  "max_veins_per_chunk": 5,
  "chance": 0.8
}

JSON Parameters

• ore_block — block to generate.
• replace_block — block that is replaced.
• min_height / max_height — vertical range for veins.
• min_vein_size / max_vein_size — minimum and maximum vein size.
• min_veins_per_chunk / max_veins_per_chunk — number of veins per chunk.
• chance — probability of vein spawning (0.0–1.0).

Adding Custom Generation

1. Create a JSON file with your desired settings in data/<modid>/miningworld/.
2. Restart the game or use /reload.
3. Any new mining dimension created via /digdim will use these settings.
