#How to remove Minecraft Vanilla Ores

So I've been able to determine how to remove modded ores, but I'm not sure how to do the same thing with minecraft ores.

Please don't say "It's done the same way." I'd appreciate a file structure and an example for removing one type of ore.

My current guess is simply that you build into: data/minecraft/worldgen/biomemodifiers/iron_ore.json or something similar.

Thank you in advance.

Your current guess is close but incorrect.

Removing vanilla ores can be done in a number of ways, but they all ultimately involve the placed_feature or configured_feature of the ore you want to remove. Your options are:

  1. Remove the ore from each biome's feature list in minecraft/worldgen/biome. Ores, like all features, are placed on a per-biome basis, so you'd need to remove them from every biome they appear in (which generally, is all of them).
  2. Change the ore's placed_feature in minecraft/worldgen/placed_feature such that it can never get placed. You can do this in a few ways, but the simplest would be to just remove all of its placements and then add a single count placement of value 0
  3. Change the ore's configured feature in minecraft/worldgen/configured_feature such that it is a no_op feature type rather than an ore_blob feature type. This will make it so it has no configuration fields, and regardless of how often its placed_feature tells it to be placed, it won't actually do anything.

You will not be getting an example. Try it based on what I've described, and if you get stuck we can talk about it. I'm here to provide guidance, not do it for you.

Without examples, those instructions don't mean a lot. This seems a strange thing to object to. "Your learning style doesn't meet my teaching style, so you're out of luck."

Those instructions are absolutely meaningful, and if you're confused by something, I can elaborate

#

What I'm not gonna entertain is an attitude

I can certainly understand that position, given that you're volunteering your time.

Let me know if you have any questions.

#3 seems to have resolved the situation, as well as being provided with a comprehensive example in the form of a datapack I can reference against your examples which clearly illustrates those answers in action.
