IMPORTANT NOTICE:
TL;DR: If the fact that this mod "Spawns Ores" and is not related to the mod "Ore Spawn"in any way offends you, just go away. Otherwise know that, as stated, this mod SPAWNS ORES and that is all it does - the name is descriptive and not meant to, in any form, be confusing, hence the continual inclusion of the "MMD" prefix. At the last time things were checked (June 7, 2019) the mod "OreSpawn" that adds new enemies, girlfriends and such has not been ported off 1.7.10.
In Full:
This mod has no relation to the "OreSpawn" mod from 1.7.10 that had trees that would replicate ores and gave you "Dragon Girlfriends" and special mobs. Do not bother us with "Mobs are spawning" or "Not finding anything from the mod" - this mod - MMD OreSpawn - exists to provide ore-spawning (and, hopefully, other world-gen features, in the future) to other mods. It does not add mobs or any content.
If the fact that this mod has a name that describes exactly what it does and that it is not related in any way, shape or form to The Badly Named Mod "OreSpawn" - just go away. Do not think you are free to heap your own stupidity, hatred and vitriol on us.
OreSpawn
Minecraft library mod that provides better control over the spawning of ores in Minecraft.

How it works
Ore Spawn parses all of the .json files found in config/orespawn3 and adds ore generators to the game based on those files.See more in the JSON documentation.
API
Adding OreSpawn support to your mod is not hard. You can look here for an example.
IMPORTANT:
MMD OreSpawn 3.3.0 has changed several parts of how it operates, internally, and has also changed the format of one of the configuration files. Because of this, while there are no major differences in the rest of the configuration files, when upgrading from the MMD OreSpawn 3.2 series, you can either delete the entirety of the "config/orespawn3" directory and allow it to regenerate with the defaults or you can follow the following steps:
1) Delete the following files, found in "config/orespawn3/sysconf":
features-default.json replacements-default.json
2) Back up any and all customization that has been made to the configurations, specifically the "orespawn.json" file in "config/orespawn3"
3) Edit "config/orespawn3/sysconf/known-configs.json" and remove the line that has "orespawn" as the contents. The file should appear similar to the following, prior to the edit
[ "modernmetals", "orespawn", "baseminerals", "endmetals", "basemetals", "nethermetals" ]
And after:
[ "modernmetals", "baseminerals", "endmetals", "basemetals", "nethermetals" ]
Or, if you have no custom configuration happening with OreSpawn at all, just delete the "config/orespawn3" directory entirely.
is normal-cloud or clusters working for anyone? ive tried a lot of different configurations and lowering the spawn chances and even copying the example cluster config on the wiki but the world generation is taking way too long.
In reply to Sethgno:
I've tested all documented features to make sure they worked quite a bit - the examples in the docs should either be using default values that are known to function or be showing off quite strange/silly results, I did both as I wrote them. Thing is that the code is rather complex, twisted and needs to be completely rewritten at some point as it just... doesn't quite match up with how Minecraft actually does things (and it really does need a near complete rewrite for moving past 1.12 anyway)
In reply to dshadowwolf:
oh ok thats fine. i also need to be rewritten to move past 1.12 but im not doing that anytime soon either.
atleast not until recurrent complex gets an update .w.
thanks for making the mod and thanks for replying <3
i really enjoy using this mod, awesome work!
Good mod
OreSpawn started as just a mod that gave ores that could be turned into spawn eggs. So saying it's "badly named" only counts for the versions past that. Either way, just thought I'd give an explanation on why it's called what it is!
Man, 1.7.10 really brought out the stupidity of MC players with that toilet-drain mod with the non-descriptive name. Glad my hiatus skipped through that drama. Let those who have peanuts for brains wither in their own imbecility.
In reply to gmanssuitcase:
The "non-descriptive" name comes from when the mod was first made, when it only added ores that could be turned into spawn eggs. Once the mod started branching out to chaos, they should've renamed it, but for what it started as, it describes what it did: Adds spawn egg ores.
In reply to mvl666_Darkrio:
Just go away and stop being a tool of an idiot - the guy actually tells people to go out and troll and cause trouble.
In reply to dshadowwolf:
They arent being a troll, they are informing people.
In reply to spaof:
... Please, go look at the website of the mod in question.
It's apparently been turned into a massive anti-vaxxer screed... And the mods creator quite literally once had a page on the site telling his mods fans to go out and troll everyone, including giving directions about sock-puppet accounts and other ways to ban-evade and keep up the attacks.
We've literally had some of those fans show up on the MMD Discord screaming at us about "Misleading People" and how they are filing lawsuits, despite being told several times to actually go and look - that the name isn't "MMD's OreSpawn", it's "MMD OreSpawn" and that the mod description includes text specifically telling people that this is not that other mod.
So... Anyone actually supporting that mod is, to me, a troll that needs to be shot down. And no, I won't apologize to anyone that takes offense to this - as the old saying goes "Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas" - that is, if anyone needs it explained... "Associate with idiots and trolls, get labeled a troll and idiot".
Hello Jriwanek, could You please explain me what is fallback generator / generation ?
In reply to kasia1403:
The fallback generator is a really, really simplistic bit of code added to the "Metals" series of mods to account for people ignoring that they (classically) do not do any ore placement/generation on their own and instead rely on this mod (or others like it, such as CoFHWorld) to provide the generation. After we got tired of people complaining that the mods "weren't generating anything", only to find out that they had not paid attention and gotten a mod to do the generation, we added a really simplistic chunk of code to the mods that alerts people to the fact that the fallback generator is being used, that it is simplistic and stupid in how it places ores and that they really should be using one of the dedicated ore spawn/world-gen mods to do it instead and then does things in a simple, dumb manner.
You say ordering to change configs format from 3.2.x to 3.3.0 at the bottom of describe, and deleting a row in known-configs.json at 3rd step.
I've used this mod from 3.3.1.179(for MC1.12.2), there's the row "orespawn".
Is it no problem?
I'm sorry you're busy and my bad English, it's just confirm.
I think this mod is great because we can adjust spawning rate of every ores freely even vanilla.
In reply to aleon4201:
When going from 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2 to 3.3 there is a difference in one of the JSON config files brought about because prior to 3.3 there were two files that had their format changed to something that was easier to use inside the mod and that gave the users more information about things that could be done in the various spawn configurations.
The fix for this is to remove the existing files (otherwise the mod will spew errors when loading), edit the list of mods that the system has extracted files from (this is the "known-configs.json" file) and then let it recreate/extract the defaults from the mod itself. This is what the instructions cover.
In reply to dshadowwolf:
Sorry, I can't understand.
I deleted all files in config/orespawn3, and 3 files were recreated - "features-orespawn.json", "known-configs.json", and "replacements-orespawn.json".
Then I deleted "features-orespawn.json" and "replacements-orespawn.json", and edited "known-configs.json" that deleting "orespawn" row. The "orespawn" row in "known-configs.json" were rewritten.
I'm confusing.
P.S. Are they correct names for "features-default.json replacements-default.json" at the 1st step in the order?
In reply to aleon4201:
That is the intended behavior - 'known-configs.json' tracks which mods MMD OreSpawn has seen before and found configs in. It should have recreated the two files you deleted and skipped replacing 'orespawn.json' because the file already existed - then added an 'orespawn' entry to 'known-configs.json' so that it didn't try that again.
i just have to say
this is HILARIOUS that you just have to mention the ore spawn thing 10/10 what does the mod do not a clue but 10/10
(i know this is just a comment not a rating but whatevs)
do you have a discord? *nvm found it
Please Help Me get base metals to spawn ores. I downloaded your mod onto my minecraft and put it in my mod file and it didn’t work and didn’t let the world generate the base metal ores. If you could help me I would appreciate it a lot. I also watched the video on how to get it working but it didn’t help since I couldn’t understand it since I have a Mac. Please reply if you can help ASAP.
