Create Ore Excavation Deposits

Multi-chunk ore deposits for Create Ore Excavation — distance-driven richness, a Xaero map overlay and full multi-dimension support.

In case of any problems or if you have any ideas I would love to help you and extend/fix the mod <3

Example

What you get

  • Multi-chunk deposits — irregular Perlin-shaped blobs of 2–40 chunks, all sharing one ore type. By default these replace Create Ore Excavation's own single-chunk veins (toggleable), so you get the deposit experience instead of duplicated ores.
  • World-map overlay — solid coloured chunks on Xaero's World Map with alpha-fade as the vein depletes and a hover tooltip showing remaining / initial units per chunk.- Distance gradient — a log-curve drives deposit size, richness, and which ores are eligible.
  • Per-chunk gradient — the core chunk is peak yield; outer chunks fade down to a configurable floor (default 30 %).
  • Biome-aware — configure spawn biomes (default: iron in mountains/taiga, gold in badlands/savanna, nether_quartz in nether biomes, etc.).
  • Multi-dimension — choose which dimensions each type generates in; every dimension has its own tracking + reproducible seed.
  • Reveal policies — four modes per type: always / on_discovery (walk near) / on_proximity (visible while close) / on_prospect (Vein Finder reveals)…
  • …with a reveal scope — per_player (COE-like, each plays their own), team (shared with your party — Open Parties and Claims, FTB Teams, or a vanilla scoreboard team), or global (one player's find reveals it for everyone).
  • Deposit sharing — /coedeposits share posts a clickable [✚ Add to map] offer in chat, share directly with a player, or bind a world-map key to share the deposit you're hovering. No OP needed.
  • Configurable discovery message — friendly names + a custom chat template (%name% %pos% %player% …, colour codes), or turn the chat line off entirely.
  • Auto-adopt foreign veins — COE veins from add-ons & datapacks (Create Ore Excavation Plus, CoE × Mekanism, OreCompatCreate, …) are automatically tracked on the map, named, and findable — no config needed. Disable or promote any of them in the in-game editor.
  • In-game editor & config screen (YACL) — author deposits, set reveal/scope, enable/disable veins, edit recipes (incl. an input/coolant fluid the machine consumes per cycle) — no JSON hand-editing.
  • KubeJS support — define deposit types from startup_scripts via the CoeDeposits binding.

Required

Recommended / optional

  • Xaero's World Map — the deposit overlay & share keybind. Soft dependency: without it generation works fine, you just lose the visual. Xaero's Minimap adds waypoints on discovery.
  • YACL — the in-game config screen + deposit editor (falls back to a basic screen if absent).
  • KubeJS, Open Parties and Claims / FTB Teams — optional; enable the scripting binding and team reveal scope respectively. All reflection-based, no hard dependency.

The mod's mixin is gated client-only, so dedicated servers without Xaero won't crash.

Commands

Admin subcommands require permission level 2 (OP via /op <player>); share and accept are available to every player.

Command What it does
/coedeposits share Post a clickable [✚ Add to map] offer for the deposit you're standing in — anyone can click to add it to their map.
/coedeposits share <player> / share all <player> Share the current deposit (or everything you've discovered) directly with one player.
/coedeposits tier Show distance + tier fraction at the player's position.
/coedeposits list Top-10 nearest known deposits in the current dimension.
/coedeposits types Roster of declared + auto-adopted deposit types with placed counts.
/coedeposits here Info about the deposit owning the player's current chunk.
/coedeposits scan Re-prospect around the player (no wipe).
/coedeposits regenerate [seed] Wipe the current dimension + fresh prospect-scan. Optional seed override locks placement for reproducible patterns.
/coedeposits seed Print the effective deposit seed (override vs world seed).
/coedeposits refill / refill all Restore the deposit at the current chunk / every deposit in the dimension.
/coedeposits delete here / delete chunk Remove a whole deposit / a single chunk from a deposit.
/coedeposits place [<type> [<pos> [<amount> [<chunks>]]]] Admin-place a deposit. amount<0 → infinite vein, amount>0 → exact unit budget.
/coedeposits replenish <rate> / replenish all <rate> Set the per-hour replenish rate for the deposit under the player, or every deposit in the dimension. 0 disables.

Compatibility

  • Add-on & datapack COE veins are auto-adopted onto the map (named, tracked, findable) with no setup — and the base mod's own veins are replaced by default by this mod's managed deposits (toggle in the Generation config, or re-enable single veins in the editor). Promote any adopted vein into a fully-controlled type, or disable it, from the Deposits tab.
  • KubeJS — define deposit types in scripts; COE's own recipes stay scriptable via COE's plugin.
  • Open Parties and Claims / FTB Teams — power the team reveal scope (vanilla scoreboard teams work too).
  • JEI / Jade — drilling recipes appear in the Drilling category and in-world tooltips.
  • Create: Steam 'n' Rails — no conflict. Both place a map widget; coedeposits-client.toml lets you move/disable ours.
  • c2me — works; the picker runs on the chunk's worker thread.

## 0.2.0

The 1.20.1 line (Forge + Fabric) catches up to the NeoForge **0.2.0** build, folding the NeoForge **0.1.7** and **0.2.0** spans into one release: per-player / team / shared discoveries, deposit sharing, one unified ownership model for every deposit, automatic adoption of third-party COE veins onto the map, input-fluid recipes, and a KubeJS binding.

### Added
  • reveal_scope — per-player, team, or shared discoveries.** For the per-player reveal modes (ON_DISCOVERY / ON_PROSPECT): PER_PLAYER (default) keeps each player's discoveries private (COE's own behaviour); TEAM shares them with the discoverer's party/team — **Open Parties and Claims**, else **FTB Teams**, else the vanilla scoreboard team (all integrations are reflection-based, no hard dependency). Team visibility is **live**: you see everything anyone *currently* on your team has discovered — joining shares past finds both ways, leaving un-shares them (your own finds always stay). GLOBAL makes the first player's discovery reveal the deposit for everyone. Online recipients get the marker + a chat line crediting the finder. Persisted in SavedData; surfaced in the **Reveal** config group. (No effect on ALWAYS / ON_PROXIMITY.)
  • Deposit sharing.** Share discoveries explicitly, three ways: **/coedeposits share** posts a clickable **[✚ Add to map]** offer to chat (anyone in the dimension can click it to add the deposit + an Xaero waypoint); **/coedeposits share <player>** / **share all <player>** share the deposit you stand in (or everything you've found) directly with one player; **world-map keybind** — bind *"Share hovered deposit to chat"* in Options → Controls, hover a deposit on the Xaero world map and press it to post the same offer (the tooltip shows the hint once bound). You can only share what you can see; share/accept work without OP (admin subcommands stay OP-gated).
  • Auto-adopt foreign COE veins (compat).** Any COE vein recipe with no coedeposits deposit_type of its own — e.g. from **Create Ore Excavation Plus**, the **CoE × Mekanism** datapack, **OreCompatCreate**, or any datapack — is adopted onto the world map under an implicit type: we take ownership of its OreData, track, render and find it like a declared deposit. Toggle with auto_adopt_coe_veins (default **on**). Adopted veins get readable tooltip names (createoreexcavation:ore_vein_type/redstone → "Redstone"). The editor's Deposits tab lists adoptable veins, each with **Edit →** (promote to a placement: coe type you fully control) and **Disable** (suppress the vein — stored in disabled_veins). /coedeposits types shows declared vs adopted with placed counts.
  • Input / coolant fluid on recipes (like the host mod).** Inline drilling: and fluid: blocks accept an optional fluid_input ({fluid|tag, amount}) — the fluid the machine **consumes** per cycle (COE's drillingFluid, recipe key "fluid"). Lets you express fluid-gated recipes (the CoE × Mekanism Brine / Sulfuric-Ac

## 0.2.0

A unification + compatibility release: one ownership model for every deposit, automatic adoption of third-party COE veins onto the map, input-fluid recipes, and a KubeJS binding.

### Changed
  • Base COE veins are disabled by default.** This mod's managed deposits replace the role of the host mod's bundled veins (createoreexcavation:*) — letting both generate would duplicate every ore. They now start **disabled**: visible in the editor's vein list as (disabled — base COE default) with one-click **Enable** (writes the new enabled_veins config) or **Edit →** to promote one into a type you fully control. Veins from **add-ons/datapacks keep auto-adopting** — those were added intentionally, not as a dependency side-effect. Master switch: coe_veins_disabled_by_default (default on, also in the Generation config group).
  • Unified deposit model — one owner, two generation variants.** Every deposit coedeposits tracks is now owned by us identically: we write its OreData, persist it, prospect-scan it, render it, and find it. placement is no longer "who owns it" but only *where it's placed* — managed (our multi-chunk Perlin blob) or coe (Create Ore Excavation's own spread). This collapses the old dual-ownership split that caused COE-placement deposits to behave inconsistently (depletion/regenerate/finder edge cases).
  • COE-placement veins are now prospect-scanned and findable.** Declared placement: coe types (and adopted ones, below) are pre-populated on the world map ahead of the player and restored by /coedeposits regenerate, exactly like managed deposits — no more having to stand almost on top of a COE vein for it to appear. The picker faithfully replays COE's own spread placement (priority order, structure-chunk match, jittered biome whitelist/blacklist) off-thread.

### Added
  • Auto-adopt foreign COE veins (compat).** Any COE vein recipe that has no coedeposits deposit_type of its own — e.g. from **Create Ore Excavation Plus**, the **CoE × Mekanism** datapack, **OreCompatCreate**, or any datapack — is adopted onto the world map under an implicit type: we take ownership of its OreData, track it, render it and find it like a declared deposit. Toggle with the new auto_adopt_coe_veins config (default **on**). Tooltip names for adopted veins are made readable (createoreexcavation:ore_vein_type/redstone → "Redstone"). The in-game editor's Deposits tab lists adoptable veins, each with **Edit →** (promote to a placement: coe type you fully control — map colour, reveal, biome filter…) and **Disable** (suppress the vein entirely — it stops generating, stored in the new disabled_veins config). /coedeposits types shows declared vs adopted with placed counts.
  • Input / coolant fluid on recipes (like the host mod).** Inline drilling: and fluid: blocks accept an optional fluid_input ({fluid|tag, amount}) — the fluid the machine **consumes** per cycle (COE's drillingFluid, recipe key "fluid"). Lets you expre

## 0.1.7

### Changed
  • Friendlier, configurable discovery chat message.** The old line printed the raw type id with a [coedeposits] prefix ([coedeposits] discovered createoreexcavation:ore_vein_type/water at [...]), which read like debug output (reported in #3). It now resolves a friendly name — the type's display_name from deposits.json, otherwise a prettified id (createoreexcavation:ore_vein_type/water → "Water") — and the whole line is a config template discovery_message_format (default Discovered %name% at %pos%). Placeholders: %name%, %pos% (clickable /tp), %x% %y% %z%, %type%, %player% (the discoverer), %%; § colour codes work.

### Fixed
  • Deposits placed over already-explored terrain no longer read "depleted".** COE's OreData.populate runs once per chunk, so a deposit placed by /coedeposits regenerate or the prospect scanner over a chunk generated *before* the deposit existed never got its OreData applied. The depletion sweep now self-heals such chunks (no recipe **and** nothing extracted → re-apply) while leaving genuinely mined-out chunks alone.
  • ON_DISCOVERY reveals are snappy now** — the walk-into sweep runs every second instead of every ten, so a deposit appears moments after you step onto it. The reveal-mode config option also finally documents what each of the four modes does.

### Added
  • ON_PROXIMITY now sends a personal "found it" chat line** the first time a player comes within the proximity radius (same discovery_message_format; once per player per deposit, persisted). Visibility is unchanged — still distance-based.
  • Discovery chat controls in the in-game config** — the **Reveal** group now has a **Discovery chat message** toggle (off keeps the map marker / Xaero waypoint, just no chat line) and a **Discovery message** template field, alongside the discovery_chat / discovery_message_format toml options (#3).
  • reveal_scope config — per-player, team, or shared discoveries (#3).** For the per-player reveal modes (ON_DISCOVERY / ON_PROSPECT): PER_PLAYER (default) keeps each player's discoveries private (COE's own behaviour); TEAM shares discoveries with the discoverer's party/team — **Open Parties and Claims**, else **FTB Teams**, else the vanilla scoreboard team (both mod integrations are reflection-based, no hard dependency). Team visibility is **live**: you see everything anyone *currently* on your team has discovered — joining a team shares past finds both ways, leaving un-shares them (your own finds always stay). GLOBAL makes the first player's discovery reveal the deposit for everyone. Online recipients get the marker + a chat line crediting the finder via the new %player% placeholder. Persisted in SavedData; surfaced in the **Reveal** config group. (No effect on ALWAYS / ON_PROXIMITY.) Per-type override is not included yet — it's a mechanical follow-up.

## 0.1.6

### Changed
  • The in-game editor and config screen, reworked** — the 1.20.1 line (Forge + Fabric) catches up to the NeoForge 0.1.6 build. The config screen is now two tabs: **General** (generation / reveal / logging / client settings) and **Deposits** (an inline list, one row per deposit with **Edit → / Disable / Delete**, Delete behind a confirmation). Vein recipes, biome filter and dimensions are compact dropdown pickers; drilling outputs use a searchable visual item picker (icon + name) with Count and Chance-% number fields. The old monolithic editor/config classes were split into small per-tab / per-group files.

### Fixed
  • Add deposit** now assigns a unique id, so creating several in a row (or after deletes) can no longer make two deposits share a coedeposits:new_N key — which previously collided silently in deposits.json.
  • Biome filter is usable from the main menu** — with no world loaded the biome registry (and thus the real tag list) isn't available, so the picker now offers the common vanilla biome tags instead of greying out. Pack-specific / modded tags still need the editor opened in a world.

## 0.1.5-1

### Fixed
  • Crash on load** (NoSuchMethodError: net.minecraft.resources.FileToIdConverter.json). The 0.1.5 jar was published **un-reobfuscated**: the release pipeline ran publishMods as a separate Gradle invocation, which re-ran the jar task without reobfJar and uploaded a jar calling Mojang-mapped method names that don't exist at runtime → crash during mod construction on every 1.20.1 instance. The build now forces reobfJar before any publish task. No content or behaviour changes versus 0.1.5 — same code, correctly obfuscated.
## 0.1.5

### Added
  • Fluid deposits (COE Extractor).** A deposit can now yield a **fluid** instead of (or alongside) items, harvested with Create Ore Excavation's Extractor rather than the Drill. Add an inline fluid: block to a config/coedeposits/deposits.json entry (fluid, amount mB/cycle, ticks, stress, drill_tag) and the BundledRecipePack synthesises a createoreexcavation:extracting recipe bound to the type's vein. Placement, distance, biome filter and the per_chunk_units budget all work exactly as for a solid ore — COE's Extractor and Drill share the same vein-consumption logic.
  • In-game fluid picker.** The editor's Fluid field opens a picker that lists registered **source** fluids by their own texture (tinted sprite) + name, with search and click-to-select — not bucket items. (YACL has no fluid controller, so this is a small dedicated screen.)
  • Bundled example.** Ships a ready coedeposits:example_water deposit — a finite "Underground Spring" of minecraft:water extracted with the Extractor — so the fluid path works out of the box. Generates in overworld swamp/plains at weight: 50; disable it from the editor (or an {"enabled": false} overlay) if unwanted.

### Changed
  • Config validation now counts an extracting recipe as making a vein harvestable, so a fluid-only deposit no longer false-warns "can't be mined".

### Internal
  • DepositType codec split into two flattened MapCodec halves joined with Codec.mapPair (DataFixerUpper's group(...) caps at 16 fields; the type now has 17). The on-disk JSON schema is unchanged.
