I got a few more internal names for mods I use, figured I'd share:
Code:
-Mekanism-
Osmium      Mekanism:OreBlock
Copper      Mekanism:OreBlock:1
Tin         Mekanism:OreBlock:2
-Chisel-
Marble      chisel:chisel.marble
Limestone   chisel:chisel.limestone
-Artifice-
Basalt      Artifice:tile.artifice.basalt
Marble      Artifice:tile.artifice.marble
Thanks! I've added them to the Spreadsheet and to the original post.

Anyone else: Feel free to post ores and special worldgen from any mod that isn't in the list yet. I will be more than happy to add them to the lists once I find time and, of course, give you credit!

Here's some railcraft stuff:

Code:
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    0    FALSE    Sulfur Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    1    FALSE    Saltpeter Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    2    FALSE    Dark Diamond Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    3    FALSE    Dark Emerald Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    4    FALSE    Dark Lapis Lazuli Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    5    FALSE    Firestone Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    7    FALSE    Poor Iron Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    8    FALSE    Poor Gold Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    9    FALSE    Poor Copper Ore
Railcraft:tile.railcraft.ore    684    10    FALSE    Poor Tin Ore

Purely because I'm using CoFH World gen to implement a better Poor Ore gen system. Hopefully once Tabula Rasa updates, I'll be able to make other ores too.

Im just starting to assemble some things in 1.7.10. In the past I always have TE handle ore generation for copper, tin, etc. so that we don't have 5 types of copper spawning.
Is there no way of simply doing this is the configs anymore? Or is it all in these .json files?

Just disable the other mod ores in their configs. That'll leave the TE versions, which will be generated from the .json information. You don't need to touch those json files unless you wish to change the generation.

Hmmm this is kind of what I figured and I had tried exactly this but TE ores are still not generating anywhere in new worlds. Ill play around with it again.
I'll delete the .json files and let new ones generate in case they got botched or something. Thanks.


Edit. Seems on generation it creates a blank ThermalExpansion-Ores.json file.

Make sure B:GenerateDefaultFiles is set to true in ThermalExpansion.cfg.[DOUBLEPOST=1407610789][/DOUBLEPOST]

No sir that seems to be generating just fine.
Well, that is odd. I'm not able to reproduce the problem so I really have no idea what could be causing it. If I delete the .json files on my computer they are properly regenerated with default values.

I've attached to this post a zip file with ThermalExpansion-Ores.json in it that you can use. It is a freshly-generated file with default values. It also has a default Vanilla.json in it too just because.

The guide is still under heavy construction, and it's pretty slow-going, but I thought I'd post what I have thus far so that anyone interested can see how it's shaping up. I estimate it's about 50% done so I won't add it to the original post yet, but that is the goal once it has been completed.

Leave a comment if there's anything you want to see added or changed, if you see a grammar error, or whatever.

Looks good, and shucks, I got a mention :p

I take it that multiple blocks, meta and weights will be in an advanced section?
