Ore Generation
This and its corresponding metals are the biggest addition to New Frontier Craft right now. In vanilla Beta 1.7.3, there were 6 ores you could find in the stone. In New Frontier Craft, there are 30.
Below are the ores listed by commonality. Some of the details given below are not exact numbers but a way to compare these ores to each other in the grand scheme of things. For exact numbers, click on the ore.
| ORE | COMMONALITY | HOW IT GENERATES | HEIGHT |
| Copper | Most Common | Small to medium clouds with low concentration. | Any height below 75, but heavily concentrated in upper caves. |
| Redstone | Very Common | Just as it's always been: small veins. | Low caves and below. |
| Tin | Very Common | Small veins. | In upper and lower caves, but not near bedrock. |
| Coal | Very Common | Large veins that spawn in sets of two. | Found in higher concentrations above 48, and less common below that. |
| Zinc | Common | Medium veins. | Can be found in lower areas of upper caves and below. |
| Lapis Lazuli | Common | Small veins. | Heavily concentrated in lower caves, but can go to bedrock. |
| Aluminum | Common | Medium clouds with average concentration. | Upper caves and below. |
| Nether Ash | Common | Small-ish veins. | Anywhere in the Nether in clusters of 1-3 veins nearby, like coal or anthracite. |
| Lead | Average | Medium veins. | Can be found in lower areas of upper caves and below. |
| Bismuth | Average | Medium veins. | Upper caves and below. |
| Boron | Average | Small, unconcentrated clouds. | Can be found in very low areas of upper caves and below. |
| Silver | Average | A bunch of small veins generated near each other. | Upper caves and below. |
| Chrome | Uncommon | Medium-small veins. | Lower caves and below. |
| Nickel | Uncommon | Medium-small clouds with high concentration. | Rarely found in low upper caves and at bedrock; prefers to generate in high lower caves. |
| Platinum | Uncommon | Medium-large veins. | Can be found in very low areas of upper caves and below. |
| Tungsten | Very Uncommon | Single pieces. | Only found at or a few blocks above bedrock. |
| Iron | Very Uncommon | Massive clouds with average concentration. | Very rarely found in upper caves, greatly prefers lower caves and below. |
| Silicon | Very Uncommon | Extremely concentrated small clouds, almost veins. | Lower caves and below. |
| Cobalt | Very Uncommon | Large veins. | Lower caves and below. |
| Gold | Rare | Large but spacious unconcentrated clouds. | A little above ocean level and below. |
| Magnetite | Rare | Small veins. | Halfway down from ocean level and below. |
| Titanium | Rare | Highly concentrated cloud. | Lower caves and below. |
| Anthracite | Very Rare | Medium-small veins that generate in sets of three. | Halfway down from ocean level and below. |
| Gems | Very Rare | Single pieces. | Lower caves and below. |
| Onyx | Very Rare | Tiny (1-3) veins. | Appears rarely, at any level in the Nether. |
| Oil | Very Rare | Underground ponds, rarely appear at the surface. | Generates at lower-cave levels, but tends to avoid intersecting with caves. |
| Diamond | Extremely Rare | Small veins. | Lower caves and below. |
| Uraninite | Extremely Rare | Large veins. | Halfway down from ocean level and below. |
| Osmium | Legendary | Medium-small veins. | Low lower caves and below. |
