Vein parameters
Veins are spherical motherlodes of ore with zero or more branches of ore extending from the motherlode. Note that if a preset is inherited within the vein’s element, the defaults will change to the preset’s defaults, which are usually defined in the CustomOreGen_Config.xml file.
Default: 0.025 (or 2.5% chance to generate per chunk)
The number of motherlodes generated per 16 by 16 block chunk. Setting this value higher than 1.0 will cause multiple motherlodes to generate per chunk while lower than 1.0 will have a chance for a motherlode to generate in a given chunk.
Default: 16.0 to 48.0 meters
Maximum horizontal distance that a motherlode may be from its parent distribution, in meters. This can be useful when defining veins within clouds or other distributions, as is done with the ‘hint’ veins in the default configs.
Default: 2.0 to 3.0 meters
Radius of a motherlode, in meters. Large numbers can create significantly huge spheres of ore while small numbers will just create a small handful of ores. You can potentially estimate the amount of ore in a motherlode with this formula: ‘pi * size^3 * density’.
Default: 16.0 to 48.0 meters The height of a motherlode, in meters. This controls the Y level of the motherlode.
Branches can be either bezier or ellipsoid, with bezier being the default. This is defined inside the veins element in the XML file.
Default: 2 to 4 branches
Number of branches. With an “ave” of 4 and a “range” of 2, the number of branches generated will be 3 to 5.
Default: -0.265 to +0.265 radians
Branch angle from a horizontal plane, in radians. 1 radian is approximately equal to a 60° angle.
Default: 60.0 to 180.0 meters
Length of an individual branch, in meters.
Default: 16.0 meters
The maximum vertical distance a branch may travel above or below the motherlode, in meters
Segments are branches off of a branch - a branch may split from a single branch into multiple segments.
Default: 0.2
The rate at which a branch may fork into multiple segments.
Default: 0.5 to 1.0 (50% to 100%)
The multiplier for the branch’s remaining length per segment. The remaining branch continues, but that branch might get longer or shorter depending on this setting if it does split into segments. By default, the branch will almost always be shorter, but never get longer if it forks into segments.
Default: 12.0 to 18.0 meters
The length of an individual segment, in meters.
Default: 0.0 to 1.0 radians
Angle at which the segment diverges to the left or right from the original branch, in radians.
Default: 0.0 to 0.1 radians
Angle at which the segment diverges by rising or falling from the original branch, in radians. This setting was added in version 1.2.18. It was added because 45° (0.78 radians) turn up or down could quickly cause a vein to terminate due to hitting the branch height limit.
Default: 1.0 (100%)
This setting multiplies the chance that a specific ore that is generated will actually generate.
The radius multiplier for an individual generated ore.
