Request Need help with ore spawn in other blocks

[Vegar V]

Hi,

I`m working on a adventure modpack and I have one problem that I can`t seem to solve correctly. Made a coustom map with biometweaker were every block is forced to be ice blocks instead of dirt/stone etc. But that makes no ore spawn at all. How can I make the ore spawn in ice blocks. Is it possible without making a mod for it?

Yea, if you use like CoFH Core. Go into it's config folder, and then in vanilla.json, change everything from stone to ice. For instance, with iron:

{
    "iron": {
        "template": "uniform",
        "block": "iron_ore",
        "material": "minecraft:stone",
        "clusterSize": 8,
        "numClusters": 20,
        "minHeight": 0,
        "maxHeight": 64,
        "retrogen": "true",
        "biomeRestriction": "none",
        "biomes": [],
        "dimensionRestriction": "blacklist",
        "dimensions": [
            -1,
            1
        ]
    }
}

to

{
    "iron": {
        "template": "uniform",
        "block": "iron_ore",
        "material": "minecraft:ice",
        "clusterSize": 8,
        "numClusters": 20,
        "minHeight": 0,
        "maxHeight": 64,
        "retrogen": "true",
        "biomeRestriction": "none",
        "biomes": [],
        "dimensionRestriction": "blacklist",
        "dimensions": [
            -1,
            1
        ]
    }
}

The same should apply for other mod's ores, but you may have to add entries for them if they're not from CoFH mods.

Also, I recommend using Packed Ice instead of Ice because otherwise it will melt when exposed to like almost any light or when broken

Thanks a lot for taking the time to show me how to do this. Seems like it works. Found a cluster of coal now. Just have to create some textures for ore in Ice I guess it will look weird for people using texture packs as the only negative side with this.
