So I thought I would share two items from my recent worldgen!
First up, if you are using Underground Biomes to provide many different kinds of stone, you must change the materials setting on all ores. If you don't, ore will only spawn where vanilla stone is! Our world had an 80% reduction in resources as a result, and had to be recreated.
Second, it really helps to use WorldEdit to survey the result of ore generation. The '//distr' command is good at displaying a list, but you can also use WE to remove all the other blocks. With Forge Essentials installed you can run this server side as a batch job. I use Minecraft Server Manager on Linux, so here is the script:
When done you have 17x17 chunks of empty air and ores floating!
