      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Ore and world generation in 48b, back to 46?

That is an awesome cave. If it's not in the change log, though, it might just be sheer luck.

not luck...the whole ground is filled with the huge caves again, this is the cave system that was used in 46. In 47 it just had very small caves all around. no big ones.

Is the top layer as painfully empty as in b46, or is this sorta a best of both worlds kind of thing?

If I remember correctly it was stated that some ores would still spawn under the old system.

What type of ore is it?

all kind of ores: sphalerite, cassiterite, bismuth etc all the stuff that spawned very differently in 47.

Not sure if that would fit more in discussion or even bug report...

That certainly looks like the old system ? .. Somebody needs to check the upper layers .. Stat ! (man, I've always wanted to say that :D)

I've gotten far too used to a cushy life or readily available surface ore deposits :P

So, has a developer commented on this yet (possibly in some other thread?) Is the ore density change intentional?

Ok, I was quite concerned that the amount of ore had multiplied out of control. I guess no one else cared.

I finally went, and loaded up a 48d world in mcEdit and deleted a large amount of the world above y=40. I walked around and observed the veins exposed, both in the wall and the floor.

Then I did the same with a 47f world. They seemed rather comparable, so I'm pretty sure that Gorni's experience was just random luck. I even found a canyon in the 47f world that had giant veins meeting each other like the one in Gorni's picture.

Screenshots can't prove anything, but I still think they are interesting. Here's the ones I took:

Hmm looks pretty normal what you cropped out there, maybe it was just sheer luck/bad luck to find those huge veins...
