Adding Diamond Blocks to mapgen.

[DoyleChris]

I am trying to make a mod for my server to add Diamond Blocks to the mapgen like the MESE blocks. But when i go to run it on singleplayer and go to a spot on the map that need to generate, they dont show up. Here is the code any information would be helpful.

Code: Select all

minetest directory\mods\diamond\init.lua

enabled in the config.

Code: Select all

function minetest.register_ores()
   minetest.register_ore({
      ore_type       = "scatter",
      ore            = "default:diamondblock",
      wherein        = "default:stone",
      clust_scarcity = 15 * 15 * 15,
      clust_num_ores = 7,
      clust_size     = 5,
      y_max          = -5000,
      y_min          = -31000,
   })
   end

Is there some reason you put your 'minetest.register_ore' code within a function? As far as I know you don't need to do that. Just remove the first and last line in your example code and it will probably work.

What Nathan.S said, as well as ores won't generate in a part of a map that has already been loaded before, if you are doing that.

Ill try that Nathan.

Well i got rid of the
function minetest.register_ores() and end
but teleporting to a new section of my world it still didnt show up.
I have no idea how to adjust the

clust_scarcity = 15 * 15 * 15,
clust_num_ores = 7,
clust_size = 5,

I have tried making like the iron ore in stone settings but still dosent show up.

Make sure your mod 'depends' on the MTG default mod, to run after it.
