You'll need to do three things:

1. Make a configured_feature file of the ore feature type, that can spawn nether_quartz_ore in the desired "target" block, probably the #base_stone_overworld block tag. Easiest way to do it would be copying a vanilla ore.
2. Make a placed_feature file that references that configured_feature, and defines what conditions the feature tries to spawn it, typically at least a height range. Again, copying a vanilla ore file and modifying it would be the easiest way to go.
3. Reference that placed_feature in one of the feature lists of every biome file you want the ore to generate in. Most vanilla biomes put all the ore features together, so it'll be easy to find where it belongs. You do need to do this for every biome you want it to spawn in.

Important note for #3, if one or more features are listed in multiple biomes, they need to be in the exact same order in all those biomes, so make sure you're staying consistent or the data pack will fail to validate

[grave harbor]

Indeed

[warped tapir]

lmao thx a lot

[grave harbor]

Yep yep

[warped tapir]

still wont work

I did everything like you said

First the configured_feature

  "type": "minecraft:ore",
  "config": {
    "discard_chance_on_air_exposure": 0.0,
    "size": 20,
    "targets": [
      {
        "state": {
          "Name": "minecraft:nether_gold_ore"
        },
        "target": {
          "predicate_type": "minecraft:tag_match",
          "tag": "minecraft:stone_ore_replaceables"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}```

then the placed_feature 
```{
  "feature": "minecraft:ore_copper_large",
  "placement": [
    {
      "type": "minecraft:count",
      "count": 16
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:in_square"
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:height_range",
      "height": {
        "type": "minecraft:trapezoid",
        "max_inclusive": {
          "absolute": 112
        },
        "min_inclusive": {
          "absolute": -16
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "minecraft:biome"
    }
  ]
}```

then the Biomes, every time inserted at the same spot:
```""
    [],
    [],
    [
      "minecraft:custom_potassium_nitrate",
      "minecraft:ore_dirt",
      "minecraft:ore_gravel",
      "minecraft:ore_granite_upper",
      "minecraft:ore_granite_lower",
      "minecraft:ore_diorite_upper",
      "minecraft:ore_diorite_lower",
      "minecraft:ore_andesite_upper",
      "minecraft:ore_andesite_lower",
      "minecraft:ore_tuff",
      "minecraft:ore_coal_upper",
""```

wont generate the ore

I give up

[grave harbor]

Do you give up, or do you want help?

Because right now, it looks like your placed_feature is referencing the vanilla ore_copper_large configured_feature, not your new nether_gold_ore one.

now it works and I feel dumb thanks
