Natural Coal Ore

Natural Coal Ore adds natural coal ore spawning to your Hytale world. Coal veins generate automatically in newly explored chunks with smaller, scattered veins instead of massive clusters. Ore appears between Y=10 and Y=120 by default.

Fully configurable - adjust vein size, spawn rates, and more through a simple JSON config file. Includes creative mode commands for manual ore spawning and testing.

This mod also add new recipes for charcoal and new items like Crushed Coal that can be made in salvage workbench.

Zone & Biome Restrictions 🗺️

Ores can now be restricted to specific zones and biomes!

Configuration

Configuration Setup

Navigate to your Hytale UserData folder:

%APPDATA%\Hytale\UserData\Mods\NaturalCoalOre\Config\

Create a file named CoalOre.json with the following content:

{
  "CoalFuelQuality": 8.0,
  "EnableCharcoalByproduct": true,
  "MinY": 10,
  "MaxY": 120,
  "VeinsPerChunk": 20,
  "MinVeinSize": 6,
  "MaxVeinSize": 17,
  "SpawnChance": 0.85,
  "EnableNaturalGeneration": true,
  "AllowedZones": [],
  "AllowedBiomes": [],
  "CustomOres": []
}

Default (no custom ores):

"CustomOres": []

To add a custom ore:

"CustomOres": [
  {
    "OreName": "Ore_Lead_Volcanic",
    "ReplacesBlocks": [
      "Rock_Stone",
      "Rock_Stone_Cobble",
      "Rock_Stone_Mossy",
      "Soil_Mud_Dry",
      "Rock_Volcanic_Cracked_Lava",
      "Rock_Volcanic"
    ],
    "MinY": 26,
    "MaxY": 50,
    "VeinsPerChunk": 15,
    "SpawnChance": 0.65,
    "MinVeinSize": 3,
    "MaxVeinSize": 4,
    "AllowedZones": [],
    "AllowedBiomes": []
  }
]

You can also add multiple custom ores by adding more entries to the array!

To add to AllowedZones and AllowedBiomes Example:

  "AllowedZones": [
    "Zone1_Spawn",
    "Zone2_Tier1"
  ],
  "AllowedBiomes": [
    "Plains_Spawn",
    "Forest_Birch"
  ]

To see all the zone IDS: https://github.com/daniGreat/Natural-Coal-Ore/blob/master/zone-name-and-biome

How it works:

Empty AllowedZones = spawns in ALL zones
Empty AllowedBiomes = spawns in ALL biomes
Specify zones/biomes to restrict where ores can spawn

Start the game - the config will be loaded automatically
if you didnt create custom folder and file it will use the default values.

Setting	Description
MinY / MaxY	Depth range where coal spawns
VeinsPerChunk	Number of veins per chunk
MinVeinSize / MaxVeinSize	Blocks per vein (min-max)
SpawnChance	Chance for chunk to contain coal (0.0 - 1.0)
EnableNaturalGeneration	Toggle ore generation on/off

EnableCharcoalByProduct Toggle Charcoal byProduct on or off
