When generating ores, "lead" and "silver" have the pairs "block" written as '
"block": [
{"name": "ThermalFoundation:Ore", "metadata": 2, "weight":80},
{"name": "ThermalFoundation:Ore", "metadata": 3, "weight":20}
],
', and '
"block": [
{"name": "ThermalFoundation:Ore", "metadata": 3, "weight": 90},
{"name": "ThermalFoundation:Ore", "metadata": 2, "weight": 10}
],
' which displays weights so that the two ores can spawn near each other.
EDIT: On the Internal ores spreadsheet, can you add AdventofAscension ore names? Thanks

Any advice for creating long, string of ore- experimenting with fractal+large vein hasn't quite yielded the right result
It gets a few string like tendrils, but its mostly a tangled mess and the strings are broken. What I'm aiming for is a distinct continuous string which twists and branches through the world.
Playing around with density, cluster count, and size seems to result in varying piles of ore spaghetti
Code:
"gemstones_lower": {
"distribution": "fractal",

That's pretty much the only option available, unless you find a different mod to generate ores.Any advice for creating long, string of ore- experimenting with fractal+large vein hasn't quite yielded the right result

In the previous version I used:

],

"horizontalDensity": 4,
"retrogen": "true",
"biomeRestriction": "none",
"biomes": [],

},
I haven't said a thing.

How can I make ores more rare? My current config looks like this:
But they still spawn in every chunck.
Code:
{
"dependencies": "thermalfoundation",
"populate": {
"copper": {
"distribution": "uniform",
"generator": {
"type": "large-vein",
"block": "thermalfoundation:ore",
"material": "minecraft:stone",
"cluster-size": 120
},
"cluster-count": 1,
"chunk-chance": 1,
"min-height": 30,
"max-height": 75,
"retrogen": "true",
"biome": "all",
"dimension": {
"restriction": "blacklist",
"value": [
-1,
1
]
}
},
"tin": {
"distribution": "uniform",
"generator": {
"type": "large-vein",
"block": {
"name": "thermalfoundation:ore",
"metadata": 1
},
"material": "minecraft:stone",
"cluster-size": 120
},
"cluster-count": 1,
"chunk-chance": 1,
"min-height": 20,
"max-height": 55,
"retrogen": "true",
"biome": "all",
"dimension": {
"restriction": "blacklist",
"value": [
-1,
1
]
}
}
}
}But they still spawn in every chunck.
By default, Ores always generate in every chunk, so adjust
"chunk-chance": 1
Make that 2, and it'll be every 1 in 2 chunks instead of every chunk. Experiment until you find the right level.

Thanks! I thought smaller numbers means the chance is smaller but looks like I was wrong.

Too Much Free Time
Heres a few things I figured on the fly; makes testing stuff a lot faster/easier
When you're testing out different values for chunk chance- change your material to "minecraft:air", and your min/max heights to 80/115
This'll put your deposits above ground level- then you can fly about tweaking the numbers until it feels about right.
(its a lot faster than vanishing the stone blocks underground.
The other thing; each time you tweak the numbers, change the block type to/from netherrrack- so you have a clear visual change of the updated ore deposits.
