Better vein generation?

cm4500

Hello,

I have created four new blocks (one of them called fuchsite like the real-world mineral) that are suppose to serve similar purpose to diorite, andesite, and granite. For this reason, I am trying to use the built-in world populator system to help spread these four new blocks across the world in veins with comparable sizes to that of vanilla diorite, andesite, and granite. However, I cannot seem to get it right. I continue to get results like the picture below, where the blocks are scattered across, showing no signs of connection or continuity. Is there a way to make these blocks spawn together as one contiguous vein? (i.e. one large vein of fuchsite).

I have mimicked the instructions of world populators straight from the ItemsAdder wiki, but I continue to get these scattered results and no actual veins.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi, volunteer here.
Please share the config you used to generate this.
Make sure your vein_blocks is higher than 1

Thanks for the response and sorry I did not originally share the code.

Currently, this is the one I have left it at that showed the above results.

info:
  namespace: blocks
blocks_populators:
  fuchsite:
    block: fuchsite
    replaceable_blocks:
    - STONE
    - DEEPSLATE
    chunk_chance: 100.0
    max_height: 256
    min_height: -20
    vein_blocks: 64
    chunk_veins: 4

The vein_blocks value originally started at 16 to have small but many veins. With that, I still was only getting scattered blocks. Even with a value as high as 64, it is rare to find a vein with more than 3 contiguous blocks in it.

Since the last post, I now have no blocks appearing with the world populator. I have created new worlds for testing, examining new chunks and all that but no blocks in the populator.yml file do not generate. I have now worked backwards to try and isolate where exactly the problem begins - removing all unnecessary plugins that will not affect ItemsAdder and even using the default resource pack. Even then, no custom blocks generate across the map now.

According to the wiki, "plugins and world generators that spawn mushroom blocks with different faces to create custom textures" are not compatible with this ItemsAdder. Is there a list of examples that may affect this? Could server.properties or related files interfere? I really just don't know by this point and feel stumped by this.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
