You should do this sort of things for all ores including coal :)
ReplyDeleteI just put them up :)
ReplyDeletei'm not sure if you know but the amount of ores in total is the same in all levels.
ReplyDeleteFor Example, on layer 16 there might be 10 diamonds, 30 coal 20 iron and 10 redstone. 70 ores.
on layer 40 there might be 40 coal 20 iron 10 gold which would equate to 70 ores in total. I've read it on the forum so it's unconfirmed.
I saw that thread. Unfortunately it wasn't backed by any numbers and is completely untrue. For example, on one map with 3900 chunks, there are:
ReplyDelete26608 total ore at layer 40
27964 total ore at layer 30
29006 total ore at layer 20
40916 total ore at layer 14
It's not true, and only based off a subjective look at a small sample size.
