Changes the way ore generates so that they are semi-grouped together in mines. this promotes exploration, the use of minecarts, and you don’t have to strip mine anymore. Also a fully customizable ore distribution mod. Edit rarity, vein size, # of veins, height from bedrock, diameter of mine, ores rates based on biomes, vertical cluster density, and horizontal cluster density

- 1. Find your server.jar (it must be the .jar from minecraft.net the .exe will not work)

Don’t delete the Meta-inf folder for the server, it may cause your server to crash. if your server does not run properly, then try deleting it the Meta_inf. (thanks to Scearcrovv for finding this)
Changelogs:
v2.6
- Updated to 1.5.2
- Added a new setting, “GenOreInBlockID” it allows you to choose what block to spawn your ore in, for example 1 is stone, and 87 is netherrack. This is a single, whole number digit, and does not specify metaID blocks. If you have something like 953:7 for a block, 953 will allow it to spawn in that block, but also other meta values from 953. This should rarely if ever be a problem since ore is generated before most other things.
- Added nether ore support. there are now to folders in BODprops, “OverWorld” and “nether”, these contain the files for the respective dimensions. They should both behave as normal and seperatly. This includes a seperate override file for the nether. It should be noted that the nether configs are not generated until you enter the nether.
- Fixed an artifact in the code that prevented you from setting an ore to 0 rarity, and then using the biome config to make it apear in select biomes
- Fixed a typo that was probably messing up the biome configs enough to prevent them from working
