      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.

[B75] Surface Ore Vein Near Spawn

5 posts in this topic

Below is the seed I've been using for my server. If you head a couple hundred blocks from where you spawn, you'll find a ravine bordering a river with surface ore in it, which can be easily accessed by making a waterfall. There is also plenty of surface ore in the area to make a pickaxe to start digging out the ore.

A couple things to note: On our server, the exposed vein was copper and the forest surrounding it was willow trees. I did two quick test worlds using the seed in single player; both times, the forest was birch instead of willow, and one time the ore was copper while the other time the ore was either cas or bis (didn't mine it to verify which). So you may have to do a couple world gens to get copper if that is what you are going for, so that you can practically skip tier 0 metal and jump straight to tier 1.

It's a great seed if you want to hurry up and start working with metal. There's also plains in the area that stretch for days, a few jungles southeast and southwest, and I found another ravine with exposed ore about a day and a half's walk to the south.

The seed is -1904030227297648720

And here is a screenshot of the ravine with its exposed ore (copper in this one), along with the coordinates (I believe you start at around -90, -4700):

Very nice finds there. I've also noticed a ridiculous amount of clay deposits along all the river, and there's a bounty of ravines. I also found a cool underground river somewhere around -370, -5600 or somewhere along those lines.

If you could get the locations of some of those things, that would be wonderful. I cannot find any of those things that you described. No visible ores either at that cavern, which is odd, and that is with more than seven tries.

It seems that there is a good bit more randomization with the ore generation than I thought. I ran a few more test generations of the seed, and a couple of them had the surface ore whilst some of them did not. I guess it's a just a matter of luck getting the surface ore to spawn there. However, as Ludgar mentioned, there's also a pretty vast cave system under that area as well, which I have been slowly mining sphalerite, cassiterite, and hematite from on the server, much of which were visible on the walls of the cave system (visible being used loosely here with sphalerite, the stealthy bugger of an ore).
