I would love to see custom giant ore veins for all ores, with custom mixed blocks in them, like how iron and copper can generate, so something of the sort (I am going to do a list of ideas, and see what you think could be improved upon)
Giant Gold Vein:
A mix of Smooth Basalt, Raw Gold Blocks, and Gold Ore
Y Level: can generate at Y:=10 to Y:= 20.
Can spawn whole gold blocks if a lava lake is present.
Giant Emerald Vein:
A mix of calcite and emeralds.
Can be found at Y:=64, above stony peaks, and at Y:=120 to Y:=110 in frozen peaks, jagged peaks, and grove biomes, has a chance to generate in flat areas of Snowy Taigas, at Y:=16 (8/100 precent chance of generating).
Can generate full Emerald blocks if underneath a village and a lava pool are present.
Giant Coal Vein:
A mix of coal and diorite, and has a 5% chance of spawning diamond ore if a lava pool is present near it (stone only, deepslate coal will have a 3% chance of obsidian).
Can generate at levels Y:=244, the lowest being Y:=0 (for stone). Can generate at Y:=-6 and Y:=-32 (For deepslate).
Lapis Lazuli Giant Vein:
Can generate at any Y Level, and sometimes have Coal blocks generate with it (Why coal blocks? Cause having a full block of lapis is way too op).
Balancing changes:
Ores will now only generate 1 block under stony shores, so it doesn't make the land look cluttered (If this isn't possible, ignore this part specifically).
Giant ore biome distribution
Giant Gold Veins:
Jungles, swamps, mangrove swamps, and deserts.
Its default generation is the badland(s) biome(s).
Giant Coal Veins:
Deep Oceans, Rivers, Beaches (Under sand and sandstone).
The default is: Overworld.
Giant Lapis Veins:
Savannah, Lush Caves, and Snowy Taigas.
The default is: Overworld.
Giant Emerald Veins:
Stony Peaks, Jagged Peaks, Frozen peaks, and Snowy Groves.
Default Location: Specified Biomes.
Diamonds can now spawn more frequently the closer you are to lava.
Deepslate Coal can generate more frequently near Lava if diamonds are nearby.
Redstone Ore can generate more frequently near deepslate coal blocks if coal blocks are present.
Disclaimer:
The balance changes I suggested are off on real-world ruby, diamond, and coal distributions.
Necessity
If you have your opinion/ ideas, please make it clear, cause this was kind of a concept suggestion, rather than a "add this or else" type of suggestion, I am always ready to hear other people's ideas, of course, this is cause you are the dev of the data pack/mod :D
I love this mod, and I hope there can be ideas that are more balanced from your side.
These are based on actual game features (Giant copper and iron veins specifically).
