Notes

  1. This refers to coal ore blocks spawned in blobs and not as parts of fossils or mansion forges.
  2. Instead of multi-block blobs, emerald ore is placed in scattered blocks.
  3. Deepslate variants only generate in deepslate under layer 0.
  4. The block which allows to distinguish its large ore veins.
  5. It features very large blobs, most times as double as big than a normal blob.
  6. Deepslate variants replace only Deepslate and Tuff.
