Distant Ores - Vanilla

A preset datapack for Distant Ores designed for standard overworld terrain. Works with any land-based world generation - vanilla, Terralith, William Wyther's, or any other terrain mod that generates land.

Keeps vanilla Y ranges but overlays the distance modifier. Coal and iron are available from spawn as normal, but rarer ores won't appear until you've explored outward.

Digging straight down at spawn will not yield diamonds - you have to travel to earn them.

Requires the Distant Ores mod.
