Contradiction: can ancient debris spawn exposed to air?
It says that ancient debris cannot spawn exposed to air but shows a picture of "naturally-occurring" debris spawning in a cave open to air. One of these must be flawed

Why is this referred to as an ore?
I'm not sure why ancient debris is referred to as an ore. It doesn't seem to match the typical definition of ore (because the name "ancient debris" seems to imply it is not a natural rock or sediment, but remnants of destroyed artificial structures). Is ancient debris internally (in-game) classified as an "ore" somewhere? --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 07:24, 7 March 2020 (UTC)


 * declassifying it as an ore. They honestly share no similarities. The texture doesn't resemble any other ores. The name doesn't contain the word "ore." It uses different sounds and materials from all other ores. Neither it nor its smelted version are used directly in crafting a tier or armor material. As you said, it's almost certainly not natural. The only thing really tying it to the term "ore" is that it is part of the process of obtaining a new tier, but, as I said, it's not direct like any other ore.
 * There's also the argument of it generating similar to an ore, which is not very strong as many other things that are definitely not ores follow the same generation theme and are even referred to as ores in code (such as dirt, gravel, andesite, infested stone, etc.) -PancakeIdentity (talk) 21:49, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * . For some reason I actually personally want to classify it as an ore, but I can't think of any good reason to do so. In addition to what's noted above I'd like to note that every single "other" ore in Minecraft actually has "ore" in its name (which this one is obviously lacking).--Madminecrafter12 (Talk to me 22:03, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
