About OreRandomizer

From SpigotMC

OreRandomizer creates ores upon lava/water interaction instead of cobblestone/stone/obsidian.

A plugin for SpigotMC that randomly creates ores in lieu of cobblestone/stone/obsidian specified by configured ratios. OreRandomizer can randomize:

  • Ancient Debris (1.16+)
  • Andesite (1.13+)
  • Amethyst (1.17+)
  • Coal
  • Cobblestone
  • Concrete Powder (all 16 colors, 1.12+)
  • Copper (1.17+)
  • Diamond
  • Diorite (1.13+)
  • Emerald
  • Glowstone
  • Gold
  • Granite (1.13+)
  • Iron
  • Lapis Lazuli
  • Obsidian
  • Redstone
  • Stone
Setting any of these resources to 0 in the config.yml will stop randomization of that resource.

OreRandomizer by default will play the creeper priming sound upon ore randomization. However, the sound can be changed by a command or with the config.yml. Available sounds are:
  • Breeze - this is a breeze sound (1.21+)
  • Buzz - this is a bee sound (1.15+)
  • Maa - this is the goat ram preparation sound (1.17+)
  • Normal - this is the lava extinguish sound
  • Sniff - this is the sniffer smelling sound (1.20+)
  • Ssss - this is the creeper priming sound
  • Wibbit - this is the frog ambient sound (1.19+)
OreRandomizer can randomize ores when vanilla MC lava / water interaction would create stone or obsidian if you so choose (and can even do so individually.) To enable randomization in either scenario simply use a command or set the corresponding config.yml key to true: RandomizeOnStoneCreation and RandomizeOnObsidianCreation.

OreRandomizer includes a few useful commands:
  • /GetOreRatio and /SetOreRatio commands for displaying and setting randomization ratios
  • /AddNewWorld, /GetAllowedWorlds, and /RemoveAllowedWorld for per-world activation management
  • /GetRandomizationSound and /SetRandomizationSound for viewing and changing the sound that plays upon ore randomization
  • /GetStoneToggle and /SetStoneToggle for viewing and changing whether ores are randomized when vanilla MC lava / water interaction would create stone
  • /GetObsidianToggle and /SetObsidianToggle for viewing and changing whether ores are randomized when vanilla MC lava / water interaction would create obsidian
All commands support user permissions.

Simply place OreRandomizer.jar inside your plugins folder to install.
