Need help with some ores

Just wanted to know what the "frequency on chunks" and "frequency on specific chunk" is on vanilla ores like iron and diamond (so that I have something to compare my new ores to)

if you're trying to make it more or less frequent then just change it per chunk I think diamond has 3 per chunk

Look it up. Literally just google "frequency of diamond ore on chunk" and boom. a reference. You can insert whatever ore you want into "diamond ore".

frequency on chunk - first off, a chunk is a 16x256x16 (16 X, 256 Y, 16 Z) cuboid. That's how Minecraft generates terrain. So, the value is how much the block will generate on one chunk (still in random location). For example, if you pick 1, there will be 1 block in a 16x16 area (excluding the height which is 256), which is very rare. Diamonds occur at 2 or 3, i think.

 

frequency on specific chunk - This one is like a special chunk which isn't diffrent in height, except it is randomly picked, doesn't occur every time but just like every 10 chunks, and on these chunks you can have more blocks generating than default. It's like a "lucky (or unlucky if you want) chunk" where you can find more (or less if you want) materials.

I think (but I am not sure) that frequency on chunk defines how many ore patches spawn in a chunk, while frequency on specific chunk defines how many ores spawn in a patch.

This means that if an ore has a high frequency on chunk and a little frequency on specific chunk, you will find it easily, but in little patches. Vice versa, if the ore has little frequency on chunk and high frequency on specific chunk, you will find it rarely, but when you find it you'll find a huge deposit of that ore.

This is only how I think it works, but, again, I'm not sure. It just usually works this way to me.

Anyway, to compare the frequency of modded and vanilla ores I usually check in runclient if the mod's ores are more common or rarer than the vanilla ones.

There's a mod that can help you do this. It's Scannable, it adds a tool that checks for a specific block/entity/structure/... in a range. You can put the mod in the mods folder and use the tool to check the rarity of the ores.

I hope this helped :)
