Notes[]
- ↑ This refers to coal ore blocks spawned in blobs and not as parts of fossils or mansion forges.
- ↑ Instead of multi-block blobs, emerald ore is placed in scattered blocks.
- ↑ Deepslate variants only generate in deepslate blobs between layers 0 and 16.
- ↑ Unlike most other ores, lapis lazuli's frequency peaks around layer 15, and slowly tapers off above and below.
- ↑ Deepslate variants replace only Deepslate and Tuff.
