hello


So i am creating a mod with a assortment of random items and things. one of them being aluminum ingots and aluminum tools. i want to make a aluminum ore generate in the world. How would i do that

here is my code so far

Code: Select all

minetest.register_node("aluminum:aluminum_ore", {
       description = "aluminum Ore",
	tiles = {"defaulth_stone.png^aluminum_mineral.png"},
	groups = {cracky = 3, stone = 1},
	drop = 'aluminum:aluminum_lump',
	legacy_mineral = true
})


minetest.register_craftitem("aluminum:aluminum_lump", {
	description = "aluminum Lump",
	inventory_image = "aluminum_Lump.png"
})


minetest.register_ore({
	ore_type       = "vein",
	ore            = "aluminum:aluminum_ore",
	wherein        = "default:stone",
	clust_scarcity = 8*8*8,
	clust_num_ores = 8,
	clust_size     = 3,
	y_min          = -31000,
	y_max          = 64,
})

As I see, in your code you already registered an ore ("minetest.register_ore" function is applied) that will generate in the world in the depth span from 64 up to -31000 down.

You are trying to register a 'vein' ore type. For this ore type to work you need to add noise_params and noise_threshold to the ore definition, see here.
However the vein ore type is fairly resource expensive and also hard to control with noise params. You might want to use another ore type instead.
