Hello!

I was putzing about with ore generation and came up with this image:

Any interest in future development may happen.
I always loved the desert.

Sample code:

Nice use. Sheet ore is powerful now, you can place strata of any thickness, even completely filling a mapchunk.

Looks close to the Mesa biome in MC :

Looks very nice. The clay found in some biomes of such type is also useful.
