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 modern, that is now 7 with emeralds. 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. |
