6 years ago Hello. Thanks for the suggestions! Technically, both of these things are already possible. Now, when you say blacklisting dimensions, are you referring to the global whitelist in the config file? The use of a whitelist there instead of a blacklist was actually a design choice. I chose that in preferring performance over immediate adaptability, i.e. not automatically spawning ores in all new dimensions means there's less for the CPU to worry about unless the user specifically wants that. Another user suggested ignoring the list altogether if it's empty. I forget if I ever did that. For your setup, would that make things more convenient? If not, this gives me something to think about.
About the normal variant spawn frequency: the dense variant spawn frequency is actually a ratio, meaning that it is itself relative to each original ore's spawn frequency. If you're looking to increase the spawn frequency for certain ores, you can easily create a new WorldGenProperties.json with only the vein size and / or frequency inside to get higher counts. I actually do something similar with my own setup. I prefer fewer, but much larger coal veins. If you mean a global setting to increase ore counts, I might do something similar to that. I like the idea, but I may mix it up just slightly.
I love getting this kind of feedback. Hit me with any more ideas you have and I'll see what I can do.

Also, would be awesome if you could control spawn rates of non-dense variants. (or am I missing something?)
