Ore Clusters/Expansions to existing generation

[prisma fractal]

Current version of the mod has issues atm with iridium acquisition (which is being remedied) and profanum acquisition. This could be fixed by taking some inspiration from alltheores approach: generating large batches of them with a raw ore block/block of the ore in the center. (Obviously rare to match the yield)

As for the expansions, some examples of new generation that could be cool:

Profanum: for an ore so hot that it literally burns you, why not have it generate in the nether exclusively? This could generate at the floors of lava lakes/shores of lava lakes in batches as to ensure a fair amount while still maintaining the same rarity/scarcity.
(Bonus mini suggestion for lava vision if this idea is accepted since current lava fog is very annoying)

Iridim imo doesn't need changing, the batches/clusters alone would remedy the demand on top of new method

Supermassive gem veins: similar to how copper and iron have super veins with granite and Tuff. The gemstones of onyx, sapphire, ruby, topaz, and Iridescent gems could feature their own variant with a matching block to the vein to recognize it
Sapphire -> Diorite
Ruby -> ignostone
Topaz -> andesite
Onyx -> stellar remnant
Iridescent Gems -> amethyst (could also spawn ores in special amethyst clusters)

Which seaways into Stellar Remnants ->
Instead of randomly spread, they could be confined to superveins like the tuff/granite. On top of 2 mini structures, floating stars and crashed stars. And where there's stellar remnants, there's onyx ore. Would be mostly made of stellar remnants/endstone, and add some cool details to the end

also insert [why doesn't Iridescent gems have an armor/tool set give it one] here
Could have levitation for a short time

Iridescent shards aren’t supposed to be like the other gems. They spawn everywhere and are mostly for accessories

[prisma fractal]

ah

I envisioned them as an onyx counterpart I see

[cyan bison]

I didn’t wanna bloat the mod with too many gem sets

Most of the gems have their sets with an armor set bonus, and are found in an exclusive area. They always are able to make a few extra things as well regarding accessories or whatever

Iridescent shards are like the copper ingots of gems

[prisma fractal]

gotcha

Tho reading this back new generation of stuff could add more wacky world gen interactions with other mods

[cyan bison]

Nah it probably wouldn’t be a big deal

Balance is all if be worried about

[prisma fractal]

Depends on their rarity ig
The example I used, alltheores spreads them literally everywhere and they're as common as copper for all the ores it adds (by design since it's meant to unify tech mod resources)

So likely would have to make them profanum tier or rarer to fit with balance

or take the terraria approach and go fuck it we ball

Ores everywhere

I’m definitely making them more common but not terraria level lol
