I don't think that's possible in minecraft vanilla, but maybe you can make a custom block that works as a “generator alterator” and when a cobblestone is generated, it will replace it with the block you want.
Mhh... in a few hours I'll send you my failed attempt
buddy ignored the answer he was given... crazy
Hi I just saw that there were datapacks for what I needed and they are not updated. That's why I know it is possible to do it.
Maybe send those references and we can see how they did it if you can’t figure it out

For what I need it is good but it is a very old version and I wanted to modify it. Here it only uses functions
This pack works like this:
- if you break a cobblestone, it checks if it’s surrounded by blocks that form a cobblestone stone generator
- It then spawns a marker entity (aec because it’s so old)
- From then on it replaces all cobblestones in that spot with random ores
- It also checks if the conditions for a cobblestone generator are still met and kills the entity if that’s not the case
I can already see bugs in the current system and to make it bug free is quite hard
So you're saying it's better not to do it?
Not saying you can or shouldn’t but I think this idea is the same idea but better suited for data packs
That you explicitly mark a location that turns cobblestone to ores
And if you place that onto a cobblestone generator, you have an ore generator
Then you don’t need the checking logic which is 1. laggy and 2. inconsistent (atleast in the 4 year old example)
Well if I get the same result and can divide it into levels that's fine. But here I don't know where to start.
- reacting to block placement and finding the location
- spawning a random ore at any position
- summoning and reacting to a marker entity
Many things you could start with
You can look for stuff other people made, try stuff out yourself and/or ask here and we can support you or give you hints
sorry if I answer now but I couldn't. I would need a hand to start at least to understand where I have to operate (since I mainly touch the functions)
Hi! If you like, could you show me a little example? Because I still don't understand how I should do it.
