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)
This was asked before, search on the website or check our wiki.
what website/wiki?
what website?
This website. It has search: https://mcreator.net/search/content
MCreator's wiki: https://mcreator.net/wiki
thanks, but I can't find what im looking for anywhere in those links.
Im looking for a list of "frequency on chunk" and "frequency on specific chunk" of vanilla ores like in mcreator
sooo... do you know where i can find it
if you're trying to make it more or less frequent then just change it per chunk I think diamond has 3 per chunk
I know how to make it more and less frequent but I need something to compare it to!
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".
proxerator I searched it and was looking for so long, it's not there... I don't think im ever gonna be able to find it but thanks
ok, the next best thing is knowing what "frequency on chunk" and "frequency on specific chunk" actually mean, do you know?
one of them is how many diamonds in a vein
and the other is how many veins in a chunk... idk wich one is wich tho
proxerater, do you know what "frequency on chunk" and "frequency on specific chunk" actually mean? If you do can you explain? Im really confused
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 :)
