Average Ores Per Chunk

[The_Catman]

I'm trying to get a list of the average amount of each kind of ore that's generated per chunk for use in the trading station on my server

I found the values for vanilla ores ok (aside form emerald, given it's nature), but finding anything on the modded ores is seeming difficult. Does anyone happen to know what the averages would be?

Just off the top of my head, i know iridium is 20% chance to spawn in a chunk, layer 1-99. Thats about 1 every 5 chunks. I will see if i can find out the others.

Thanks, I've been digging around but I haven't even gotten to the GregTech ores yet >_<

This thread might be worth a read then.
A little bit of the good stuff:

In tests of world gen on an area of 51 chunks by 51 chunks I found the following results.

With just Forestry ore gen on, there were 158380 copper ore and 142032 tin ore.
This is 61 and 55 per chunk respectively.

With just IC2 ore gen on, there were 282828 copper ore and 203742 tin ore.
This is 109 and 78 per chunk respectively.

Once we get the ore gen sorted out, I'll do a full workup of ore gen.

That's perfect! Thanks for letting me know!

I was trying to see if I can find my way around MCEdit and do it myself, but I don't have my world readily available at the moment.

Mcedit doesn't like mod stuff be careful if you do use it.
